Lyrics

Merry, merry Christmas, baby
Sure did treat me nice
I said merry Christmas, baby
Sure did treat me nice

Gave me diamond rings for Christmas
Now I’m living in paradise

Well, I’m feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well, I’m feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio

Well, I want to kiss you, baby
While you’re standing ‘neath the mistletoe

I said, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, baby
You sure did treat me nice, yes, you did
Yes, you did, yes, you did, yes, you did
I said merry, merry Christmas baby
Sure did treat me nice

Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I’m living in paradise

I said, merry, merry, merry Christmas, baby
You sure did treat me nice
I said, merry, merry Christmas, baby
Girl, you sure did treat me nice

Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I’m puttin’ it through Al’s mike

Well, I’m feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well, I’m feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio

Well, I want to kiss you, baby
While you’re standing ‘neath the mistletoe

Well, I’m feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my, on my radio
Well, I’m feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio

Well, I want to kiss you, baby
Underneath your mistletoe

I said merry Christmas, baby
Girl, you sure did treat me nice
I said, merry, merry Christmas, baby
Girl, you sure did treat me nice

See also They call him “Papa George,” and for George Strait, nothing touches his heart more deeply than the bond he shares with his 8-year-old granddaughter — a girl with eyes as bright as the Texas sky. His timeless song “Love Without End, Amen” is more than a tribute to fathers. It’s a quiet promise whispered from a life well-lived to a child just beginning her journey. No long talks, no explanations — just the sound of his voice wrapping around her like a warm embrace, steady and safe. She didn’t need to understand every word. She just felt the love. And maybe, years from now, she’ll hear that song again and remember the way he looked at her, how his love never wavered. Because real love, the kind that stays — doesn’t ask for anything in return. It simply is. And in her heart, it always will be. Love without end. Amen.
