The house all decorated,
and every one is filled with cheer.
There are those who complain
it's too much work is overheard
What they need is to take a break
and let their hearts be stirred.
I have always enjoyed the hustle and bustle
of shoppers hurrying through the falling snow
nodding and smiling at passerbys
people they don't even know.
They have a Christmas heart
that I wish would last all year for all to see
please share a Christmas heart with me
I am like a sixty three year old child
that looks forward to the stories on the tv
like Little Drummer Boy, Frosty and Rudolph
and the Christmas box, my favorite to see.
The day after Christmas
my heart feels so let down
the happy faces of the day before
has changed into a frown.
Hurry take away the tree
put the decorations all away
quickly shove the memories aside
gone... another Christmas day
I want to hang on to each moment
and roll it over in my mind
looking for another Christmas heart,
that has stayed behind.
Not packed away with the tinsel
to be brought out next year
Lets have Christmas hearts all the time
before and after Deck the Halls we hear.
Don't put your Christmas smile
away with the trim and lights
keep a Christmas heart with in you
for three hundred and sixty five days and nights.
