Christmas in the Heart.

Christmas time is coming
There'll be lights all over town
People far and near waiting to hear
That Jing-ingle sleighbell sound

Footsteps on the rooftop
No footprints in the snow
It makes no diifference more or less
If in your heart you know

Is the Joy real
How does it make you feel
Is it a full shopping cart
Or Is Christmas in the Heart

Little smiling faces
Heads turned up w/ Joy
To see a big red cat w/ a beard and a hat
and a sack loaded up w/ toys

Sleigh bells just around midnight
Boots crunching in the snow
Sleepy smiles of kids tucked in tight
Dreaming by the nightlight glow

Is the Joy real
How does it make you feel
Is it a full shopping cart
Or Is Christmas in the Heart

Christmas is here
Don't shed a tear
Everybody just jump and shout

Cookies left on the mantle
Hopes all hung up high
Silence waiting for the patter of feet
And those wrapping paper sighs

It's Christmas in the country
Spread some joy around
'cause In the Hearts of babes lies the truth of age
and hope for the future found
