It Must Have Been the Mistletoe (Our First Christmas) Lyrics by Barbara Mandrell

Christmas At Our House

1984

[Verse 1]
It must have been the mistletoe
The lazy fire, the falling snow
The magic in the frosty air, that feeling everywhere
It must have been the pretty lights
That glistened in the silent night
It may be just the stars so bright that shined above you
[Chorus]
Our first Christmas more than we'd been dreaming of
Old St. Nicholas had his fingers crossed
That we would fall in love
[Verse 2]
It could have been the holiday, the midnight ride upon a sleigh
The countryside all dressed in white, that crazy snowball fight
It could have been the steeple bell that wrapped us up within its spell
It only took one kiss to know it must have been the mistletoe
[Chorus]
Our first Christmas more than we'd been dreaming of
Old St. Nicholas must have known that kiss
Would lead to all of this
[Verse 3]
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, the night I fell in love with you
It only took one kiss to know it must have been the mistletoe
[Outro]
It must have been the mistletoe (Mistletoe)
The lazy fire, the falling snow (Falling snow)
The magic in the frosty air, that feeling everywhere
It must have been the mistletoe (Mistletoe)
The lazy fire, the falling snow (Falling snow)
The magic in the frosty air that made me love you
It must have been the mistletoe (Mistletoe)
The lazy fire, the falling snow (Falling snow)
The magic in the frosty air, that feeling everywhere
