Country Christmas

Snow is falling faster now

And dusting on the hill

Skaters on the river

Gentle dances in the chill

The children's laughter ringing

As they overturn their sleighs

Waiting for a country Christmas day

The chimney's hold the promise

Of a friendly fire inside

And though it's after bedtime

All the children's eyes are wide

There might be cakes and shortbread

On a shiny silver tray

Waiting for a country Christmas day

Christmas in the country

Like another time and place

I see it in the little things

In every smiling face

It's crystal nights and far off lights

And children count the days

Country Christmas

And love will lead the way

Dogs run after snowflakes

In an never ending chase

Soft lights through the window

Frost as delicate as lace

And reunited loved ones

Who've been far too long away

Waiting for a country Christmas day

Christmas in the country

Like another time and place

I see it in the little things

In every smiling face

It's crystal nights and far off nights

And children count the days

Country Christmas

And love will lead the way

Country Christmas

And love will lead the way
