lyrics

Christmas Song
m.litton

The snow lay deep o’er the many hills
The stars shone bright in the sky
The winter wind which bends the trees
Was calm that Christmas night

Daddy played his mouth-harp low
While momma made some bells ‘n bows
To decorate the cedar tree
We’d cut that day out in the cold

Then daddy sang a Christmas song
Away in the manger he lay
Then daddy sang a Christmas song
On this silent night, this holy night
When joy returns to the world for a day

The flame in the lamp was turned to glow
Till like a halo it seemed
And he told us of the savior’s birth
That first cold, cold Christmas Eve

See the stars through window
Framed by the frost on the pane
There was once a great star
That guided the wise men who came
They entered the manger and saw
A babe wrapped in rags, lain on the straw
And daddy sang a Christmas song
Away in the manger he lay
And daddy sang a Christmas song
On this silent night, this holy night
When joy returns to the world for a day
