CHRISTMAS SNOW
Once again - a thought for those who can't make it home for Christmas but who are always there
in their minds. This version is from the crystal clear tones of the late lamented Marcie Summers.
1.
At home the Christmas snow is falling
I see it clear across the miles
I hear the happy voices calling
See the dear familiar smiles.
2.
Every Yuletide brings its reason
To celebrate old ways before
Family gathered for the Season
Friends and neighbours at the door
3.
Whatever in my life forsakes me...
Wherever in the world I go
I bless this heart that always takes me
Home again for Christmas snow
4.
Inside, holly round each doorway
Mistletoe as well there'll be
Bright-wrapped presents on the floor stay
Waiting underneath the tree
5.
Outside church bells are car-oling
Soft flakes dust the things they find
And Christmas snow is surely falling
In some other far-off mind
REPEAT 3.
6.
At home the Christmas snow is falling
I see it clear across the miles
I hear the happy voices calling
See those dear familiar smiles
7.
Every Yuletide brings new reason
To celebrate old days of yore
Family gathered for the Season
Friends and neighbours at the door
REPEAT 3 TO CLOSE
