Christmas Child

Winter's eve is creepin' in

On December 1st on a cold wind

And on the pantry door hangs a calendar

Counting down the days with their little doors

And I’m just a Christmas child

I lie upon the floor
By the firelight in my home

Winter's eve, December 4
The tree is up and the lights adorn

I push the cloves into a tangerine

Fetch the holly from a neighbor's tree

And I’m just a Christmas Child

I lie upon the floor
By the firelight in my home

And I will lie lie lie awake
I will lie awake
And I will stay right here
Until I fade away

Three weeks ‘til Christmas Day

Winter's eve is nearer still
The house, she creaks in the wind chill

Howlin' wind but I remain
Safely by the lighted pane


The frost, I write upon the glass

I see the tree line fade
Into the dark of night, right on time

And I will lie lie lie awake

I will lie awake
And I will stay right here
Until I fade away
Two weeks ‘til Christmas Day

And I will lie lie lie awake

I will lie awake
And I will stay right here
Until I fade away

I will lie lie lie awake

Lie lie lie awake
And I will stay right here
Until I fade away

I will lie lie lie awake

Lie lie lie awake
And I will stay right here
Until I fade away
One week ‘til Christmas Day

One week ‘til Christmas Day

One week ‘til Christmas Day
