The season is upon us now 
A time for gifts and giving 
And as the year draws to its close 
I think about my living 
 
The Christmas time when I was young, 
The magic and the wonder, 
But colors dull and candles dim, 
And dark my standing under 
 
O little Zachary, shining light 
You've set my soul to dreaming 
You've given back my joy in life 
And filled me with new meaning 
 
A Savior King was born that day, 
A baby just like you, 
And as the Magi came with gifts, 
I come with my gift too 
 
That peace on Earth fills up your time, 
That brotherhood surrounds you. 
That you may know the warmth of love, 
And wrap it all around you 
 
It's just a wish, a dream I'm told 
From days when I was young 
Merry Christmas, little Zachary 
Merry Christmas, everyone 
Merry Christmas, little Zachary 
Merry Christmas, everyone
