Country Christmas

(album: The Roger Whittaker Christmas Album - 1976)

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
