Christmas Day is here Ones I love are near Gold and silver ribbons Gifts are being given Sound of children's laughter Garland on the rafter For all the prayers I've prayed I'm home on Christmas Day Somehow I made it again Through all of the turns and the bends Like I was led by a star Just to get here where you are Through the dark nights and the miles Caught in the rush and the noise Follow the light of your smile And I heard the song of your voice Christmas Day is here Ones I love are near Gold and silver ribbons Gifts are being given Sound of children's laughter Garland on the rafter For all the prayers I've prayed I'm home on Christmas Day Outside the cold world turns In here a warm fire burns Outside the snow and the hustle Paper mountains fall down as it rustles We make a toast, raise a glass Counting up all of our blessings And nothing here flies by so fast And we get a glimpse of heaven Away in a manger No crib for His bed The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head The stars in the bright sky Looked down where He lay The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay
