A re-post (slightly altered)...inspired by- and dedicated to - all who cannot be at home for a precious time of the year but who are always there in heart and mind.

CHRISTMAS SNOW

At home the Christmas snow is falling

I see it clear so far away

I hear the happy voices calling

See the children at their play

 

Every Yuletide brings its reason

To celebrate old days before

Family gathered for the Season

Friends and neighbours at the door

 

Chorus -

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

 

Inside - holly round each doorway

Mistletoe as well there'll be

Bright-wrapped presents on the floor stay

Waiting underneath the tree

 

Outside - church bells are carolling

Soft flakes dust the things they find

And Christmas snow is surely falling

In some other far-off mind

 

Repeat chrous

 

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

 

Every Yuletide brings new reason

To celebrate old days of yore

Family gathered for the Season

Friends and neighbours at the door

 

Repeat chorus
