Lyrics
Late winter sunlight softly burns like embers in a fire,
The hypnotizing glow and hum of candles and a Christmas choir.
Muted colors of the sky change as the planet turns,
Just like a stained glass window’s light,
The memories return.
The hurry and flurry to get things done, hanging wreaths and holly,
This time of year evokes the moods of both joy and melancholy.
Tattered recipes for foods cooked only once a year,
Glasses lift in loving toasts,
To friends and family far and near.
A Christmas tree with sparkling lights
A note tied to a gift.
Children’s faces lit up bright,
All give your heart a lift.
Another year has come and gone,
The toddler stands up straight,
Each one of us finds gratitude and cause to celebrate.
Each one of us finds gratitude and cause to celebrate.
