Christmas Is Near

Holly in the window the fireplace burning bright
Candle lights a glowing on a Christmas night
I'll see the smiling faces once again this year
Waiting for me at the door Christmas time is near.

Out in the country about this time of year
Everybody's happy Christmas time is near
Little children playing running to and fro
Santa Claus is coming riding on the snow.

I remember years ago when just a lad at home
How I longed for Christmas time and nothing could go wrong
Now today as I look back it seems like just a year
Going back to see 'em all Christmas time is near.

I can see the pine trees now swaying here and there
They seem to know it's Christmas time there's joy everywhere
Ice froze on the branches the water cool and clear
Snowflakes a falling Christmas time is near.

Out in the country about this time of year
Everybody's happy Christmas time is near.
