Snow Globe

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'?

In the lane, snow is glistenin'

A beautiful sight

We're happy tonight

Walkin' in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird

Here to stay is a new bird

To sing a love song

While we stroll along

Walkin' in a winter wonderland

In the meadow, we can build a snowman

We'll pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say, "Are ya married?"

We'll say, "No, man

But you can do the job when you're in town"

Later on, we'll conspire

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid

Plans that we've made

Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow, we can build a snowman

We'll pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say, "Are ya ready?"

We'll say, "No, man

But you can do the job when you're in town"

Later on, we'll conspire

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid

The plans that we've made

Walkin' in a winter wonderland

La la la la

There’s a window into a magical place

Where I’ve always wanted to go

Am I dreaming or am I awake

I don’t know, it just feels like home

Cuz Santa’s always on the way

It’s Christmas morning everyday

Sometimes I wish I lived in a snow globe

Where the wind blows, it’s wonderful

And every single time that you shake it

You make it so beautiful

La la la la

Candy canes grow on trees

And snowmen come out to play

Everyone lives in a gingerbread house

What a shimmering holiday!

Come with me take my hand

It’s a glitter blizzard wonderland

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow, oh, the snow

I said, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas' be white

(Let's go, sticks, let's go)

I said, I'm dreaming of a white, oh, Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And the children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days, may your days, may your days
Be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas' be white

(Come on now, woo)

(J-man, up, up, up)

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas' be white

Come on weatherman

Give us a forecast snowy white

Can't you hear the prayers

Of every childlike heart tonight?

Rockies are calling

Denver snow falling

Somebody said it's four feet deep

But it doesn't matter

Give me the laughter

I'm gonna choose to keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas

The only Christmas for me

Where the love circles around us

Like the gifts around our tree

Well, I know there's more snow

Up in Colorado

Than my roof will ever see

But a tender Tennessee Christmas

Is the only Christmas for me

Every now and then

I get a wanderin' urge to see

Maybe California

Maybe Tinseltown's for me

There's a parade there

We'd have it made there

Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve

Sure sounds exciting

Awfully inviting

Still I think I'll gonna keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas

The only Christmas for me

Where the love circles around us

Like the gift around our tree

Well they say in L. A

It's a warm holiday

It's the only place to be

But a tender Tennessee Christmas

Is the only Christmas for me

Ooh, yeah, yeah

Oh, you know I wanna be home

Mmm-hmm

Well I know there's more snow

Up in Colorado

Than my roof will ever see

But a tender Tennessee Christmas

Is the only Christmas for me

A tender Tennessee Christmas

Is the only Christmas for me

They’re callin for snow

The man on the radio

Said ‘this goes out to the ones on their way back home’.

You know I got us a tree

Thousands of lights all red and green – it don’t mean a thing

If you’re not here with me

Every stocking’s packed

Presents wrapped, get home, baby

Don’t ya’ know Christmas just ain’t Christmas without you

Even with sleigh bells ringin’

Carols singin’ harmony

Oh baby, Christmas just ain’t Christmas without you

Now they’re closing the roads

Said the wings on the planes are froze-got me wishin’

Prayin’ for a Christmas miracle

Another log on the fire

Every second alone here feels like an hour

Forget Santa Claus, I’m waiting up for you.

Instrumental

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Let your heart be light

Next year all our troubles, will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Make the Yuletide gay

Next year all our troubles, will be miles away

Once again, as in olden days

Happy golden days of yore

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Will be near to us once more

Someday soon we all will be together

If the fates allow

Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow

So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

O, holy night, the stars are brightly shining

It is the night of the dear saviors birth

Long lay the world in sin and error pining

‘Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices

O night divine, O night when Christ was born

O night divine, O night divine

Truly He taught us to love one another

His law is love and His gospel is peace

Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother

And in His name all oppression shall cease

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we

Let all within us praise His holy Name

Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever,

His power and glory ever more proclaim!

Recently, I’ve been drawn to the simple things
Like the sun on the window pane
How the light filters through

We’re on a flight to JFK

It’s like this plane is Santa’s sleigh

In an hour, we’ll hop a train to Manhattan

We’ll leave our bags up in the room

Make our way down to 5th avenue

Baby, tonight it’s looking like magic

A wonderland painted white

All lit up by a million lights

There is no place that I would rather be

Spending Christmas in the city

Look! The Rockerfeller tree!

So much bigger than I thought it’d be

‘scuse me sir, would you mind taking our picture?

A carriage ride through the park

Sounds so perfect, arm in arm

Baby, we’ll find someplace warm when it’s over

I don’t think I slept a single wink last night

Dreaming even though I was awake

I heard the reindeer on the roof

And the sound of you know who

Pulling presents down from off his sleigh

Time to tip toe down the steps and sneak a peek

I’ve been waiting for this day all year

Every stocking’s stuffed, and there’s only cookie crumbs

Ain’t no doubt about it, he’s been here!

Wake up wake up! It’s Christmas morning!

Come on, jump on out of bed!

Wake up wake up! It’s Christmas morning!

Get up, Get up you sleepy head!

Dad, I went ahead I got your camera out

And momma don’t you worry ‘bout your hair

I can’t take it anymore! What are we waiting for?

There’s a pile of presents waiting just downstairs!

The light outside our window is the moon

Don’t you know that you can’t sleep all afternoon!

Everyone’s snug inside their warm coats

It’s getting cold this time of year

Holding their shopping bags and cocoa

Christmas is here

All of the churches filled with people

Caroling soft by candlelight

Mary and Joseph on the front lawn

Oh holy night

You can blame it on the snow

Or the warm and jolly glow

I’ve fallen in love with every thing I see

And Christmas just does this to me

Now the family’s s coming over

Berries and popcorn on the line

Our favorite movies on the TV

It’s a wonderful life

Sentimental some would say

But it’s always been this way

And I’m shining like this tinsel on a tree

Oh and Christmas just does this to me

New years around, around the corner

Mmm Feels like there’s nothing no

I wish there was a way to make Christmas stay

Everyday the whole year through

I’ll spend the night down on the sofa

With the lights left on the tree

Dishwasher humming in the kitchen

Will send me to sleep

See the sights hear the sounds

With my love ones gathered round

And everything’s as it should be

And Christmas just does this

It hits me where the heart is

Christmas just does this to me

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
