The children know where the cold wind blows and it snows <br />They write letters to a man, the North pole <br />In hopes a glimpse, to see him in his flight <br />Riding his sleigh, dressed in red, trimmed in white <br /> <br />Merry Christmas and a HO, HO, HO, the children know he goes <br />They will lay awake and listen for the sound <br />The jingle of his sleigh, Santa is on his way <br />The Reindeer hoofs upon the roofs when he comes down <br /> <br />The twinkling lights gleaming bright on the Christmas tree <br />Stockings hung with care, on every chimney <br />They will try to stay awake, till the dreams over-take <br />Looks like a Merry Christmas to me <br /> <br />Merry Christmas and a HO, HO, HO, the children know he goes <br />Riding his sleigh, dressed in red, trimmed in white <br />They anticipate, hardly can they wait <br />To see the man riding the wind when he takes his flight <br /> <br />Guided by a Reindeer with a bright and glowing nose <br />In just one night, he will make good his flight <br />And all around the world, visit every boy and girl <br />Bringing gifts of love to all on Christmas night <br /> <br />Just ask any boy or girl, they know <br />What it means to hear sleigh bells in the snow <br />They will try to stay awake till the dreams over-take <br />Over the tops of trees, they hope to see him as he goes <br /> <br />Merry Christmas and a HO, HO, HO, the children know he goes <br />They will lay awake and listen for the sound <br />The jingle of his sleigh, Santa is on his way <br />The Reindeer hoofs upon the roofs when he comes down <br /> <br />Mom and dad holding hands, each other close <br />As they walk in the snow on Christmas Eve <br />The twinkling lights gleaming brightly on every Christmas tree <br />Looks like a Merry Christmas to me. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright 2010 Bill Simmons <br />Aka BillWilliamStar <br /> <br /> <br /> Merry Christmas<br /><br />Bill Simmons<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-christmas-song-3/
