Christmas Child

Winter's eve is creepin' in
On December first, on a cold wind
And on the pantry door hangs a calendar
Counting down the days with their little doors

And I am just a Christmas child
I lie upon the floor
By the firelight in my home

Winter's eve, December four
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 am 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 and the wind chills
Howlin' wind but I remain
Safely by the lighted pane

The frost, right upon the glass
You see the treeline 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
I will lie, lie, lie awake
Lie, lie, 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
