holly leaves and christmas trees

somewhere in

in the distant night

i hear christmas bells

the gentle snow keeps falling down on people

who are homeward bound

that's the way it's always been

the circle really never ends

christmas seems to come and go

from the place that i don't know

holly leaves and christmas trees

it's that time of year

lights aglow and mistletoe

don't mean a thing when you're not here

as i walk

walk this lonely street

the sound of snow beneath my feet

i'll think of how it used to be

holly leaves and christmas trees

use to mean so much to me
