Winter White Christmas

Winter White Christmas Barren ground is blanketed with yellow and red Gentle wind whispers through grandfather trees Nature prepares for deep slumber in winter's warm bed Sleepily asking for all to be quiet please Silence is sounding all over the land The sun has dimmed his bright light No one dares to strike up the band Till all nature is sleeping tight Slowly a white downy blanket is laid For extra warmth through the dark night Softly a slumbering lullaby is played Close quietly the door and turn off the light Nature sleeps and dreams of spring When all is warm and green When Lilies bloom and bluebells ring And all is fresh and clean Now it's time to celebrate Bring out the berries and wine Bring on the pudding of figs and date Let us sit down and dine Hang the holly and mistletoe Put up the evergreen so tall Light the fireplace, make it glow Raise your voices one and all Sing a merry Christmas tune And sing it loud and clear The family clan will be here soon So bring on the chips and beer Place the presents under the tree All wrapped and tied with a bow One for you and you and one for me And two for Mary and Joe For when we come together This precious time every year We will remember forever Why we all gathered here Now take your presents and head for home Our celebration is now over Be warm and safe, Oh kiss Jerome And give this bone to Rover Now we all settle in our soft beds All warm and comfy cozy With dreams of spring dancing in our heads When all is green and rosy.
