In a little town
There’s a little house
Set in fields white with snow
There’s a rocking chair
And a ticking clock
And a woman all alone…
She dreams of the days
When the children played
Life and laughter filled the air…
Her husband held her close
He made his heart her home
Christmas love was everywhere…
Chorus:
It was the time for evergreens
And tinsel and toys
For girls and boys…
Christmas carol symphonies
An’ warm memories
An’ makin’ angels in the snow…
Time for gramma’s Christmas soufflé;
Caroling late in the day
An’ the story of the Great King…
By the fireside,
Heart in heart with Christmas love.
To a little town
To a little house
Roads covered with snow & ice…
We’ve been drivin’ long
Hope to get there soon
We’ve got to string her house with lights…
She’s got a Christmas wreath
Oh hear the doorbell ring
Joy & tears stream from her eyes…
We just had to come
It wouldn’t be the same
Without you in our lives…
Chorus:
It’s the time for evergreens
Tinsel and toys
For girls and boys…
Christmas carol symphonies
An’ warm memories
An’ makin’ angels in the snow…
It’s time for gramma’s Christmas soufflé;
Caroling late in the day
An’ the story of the Great King…
By the fireside,
Heart in heart with Christmas love.
Bridge:
Mama’s in the kitchen
I smell gingerbread and spice…
Daddy’s lightin’ candles
An’ we’re singin’ silent night…
Matthew’s got another candy cane
An’ the baby’s fast asleep…
Chorus:
It’s the time for evergreens
And tinsel and toys
For girls and boys…
Christmas carol symphonies
An’ warm memories
An’ makin’ angels in the snow…
It’s time for gramma’s Christmas soufflé;
Caroling late in the day
An’ the story of the Great King…
By the fireside,
Heart in heart with Christmas love.
