Paper Chain Christmas Lyrics
by Kelly Jax
VERSE 1
Cinnamon gum drop trees peppermint candy canes
Kids bickering over who’s gonna run the train
Let’s make paper chains and hang them on the tree
Afterall there’s no arguing on Christmas eve
CHORUS
After tomorrow it will be all over
Many tales of the season will be spoken
If we could hang on all year to this feeling of love
All the paper chains wouldn’t end up broken
VERSE 2
There’s a chill in the air excitement galore
It’s Christmas Eve the wreath’s hanging on the door
Ding dong hear the bells ring
At the door that’s what the carolers sing
CHORUS
After tomorrow it will be all over
Many tales of the season will be spoken
If we could hang on all year to this feeling of love
All the paper chains wouldn’t end up broken
VERSE 3
Adults hang around like sprigs of holly
Spiked cake and eggnog make the night very jolly
Kids eye their stockings imagine their surprise
When they come down Christmas morning to discover their ‘being good’ prize
CHORUS
After tomorrow it will be all over
Many tales of the season will be spoken
If we could hang on all year to this feeling of love
All the paper chains wouldn’t end up broken
VERSE 4
A glowing Christmas tree twinkling colored lights
Like the diversity of all the people on this night
On Christmas day I get to give the perfect gift to you
The kids all tucked in we steal a mistletoe kiss or two (kiss or two)
CHORUS
After tomorrow it will be all over
Many tales of the season will be spoken
If we could hang on all year to this feeling of love
All the paper chains wouldn’t end up broken
ENDING
By the fireplace we nestle and watch the snow fall
Happy holidays merry Christmas to all
Merry Christmas to all
New Christmas Song 2023
My fifth song, named “Paper Chain Christmas,” is a brand new Christmas song that was released in October 2023, and we are beyond merry to share it with you!
No matter how you celebrate the holidays, we think this song will be meaningful to you. Paper Chain Christmas is an upbeat pop song complete with singing, guitar, a choir, brass and string instruments, percussion like timpani, sleigh bells, and tubular bells, and of course a music video with all the trimmings.
Come prepared for our first ever live performance of Paper Chain Christmas on December 13, 2025 at TGI Friday’s in Quakertown, PA. Show starts at 7 pm. If you are reading this, the answer to the TRIVIA QUESTION about the song “Paper Chain Christmas” will be “Cinnamon Gumdrop Trees!”
