It must have been the mistletoe, the lazy fire, the falling snow,
The magic in the frosty air, that feel - ing ev' - ry - where

It must have been the pretty lights that glistened in the si - lent night;
It may be just the stars so bright that shined a - bove you.
Our first Christmas - more than we'd be dreaming of.
Ah, Saint Nich'las had his fingers crossed
That we would fall in love!
It could have been the holiday, the midnight ride upon a sleigh
The countryside all dressed in white, the cra - zy snowball fight!

It could have been the steeplebell that wrapped us up within its spell;
It only took one kiss to know - it must have been the mistletoe!
Our first Christmas - more than we'd be dreaming of.
Ah, St. Nich' - las must have known that kiss
Would lead to all of this!
It must have been the mistletoe, the lazy fire, the falling snow,
The magic in the frosty air that made me love you!
On Christmas eve our wish came true:
That night I fell in love with you.
It only took one kiss to know - it must have been the mistletoe!
It must have been the mistletoe! It must have been the mistletoe!
