about

A song about Christmas.

lyrics

Love in the air
Snow on the ground
Laughter of children, a heavenly sound.
Their hopes and their dreams wrapped in silver and gold.
A welcoming door adorned with a bow.

It's the end of another long year surrounded by family so dear.
Egg nog-a-flowing, Tree lights a-glowing
Mother and father are near.
Oh, I wish it was Christmas all the year.

Down from the north.
The world fast asleep.
A man with a beard has a promise to keep.
His sleigh full of toys takes to sky
So each girl and boy awakes with a smile.

It's the end of another long year surrounded by family so dear.
Egg nog-a-flowing, Tree lights a-glowing
Mother and father are near.
Oh, I wish it was Christmas all the year.

Please don't forget to give to those without.
That is what Christmas is all about

Bellies are full as we sit around the fire.
Singing sweet Carol's to heaven on high.
Laughter and joy is all that you need.
Do unto others and you will find peace.

It's the end of another long year surrounded by family so dear.
Egg nog-a-flowing, Tree lights a-glowing.
Mother and father are near.
Oh, I wish it was Christmas.
Lord, I wish it was Christmas.
How I wish it was Christmas all the year.
