Story Behind The Song

Each of us can remember the decorations our mother used to adorn the tree. I remember mother's angel she placed on the top of the tree every year.

Song Description

We all have memories of what makes Christmas.... Christmas. I have memories of the fireplace, snow, grandparents & Mother's Christmas Angel.

Lyrics

Mothers Christmas Angel 2003 Phillip Powell

The fire on the hearth lights the pictures on the wall,
Grandpa comes knocking on the door
Mother is in final preparation for a holy Christmas night

And brings out her Christmas angel, with eyes morning stars
She kisses my head so gently, and this is what she said

This angel is just for Christmas and the love that we all have.
ItÃ???s all about the laughter and the holiness we all share

Then it is Christmas in the moonlight, in the mountains of Tennessee
As the snow falls on the hillside, Mother hangs the angel on the tree

30 years down the road my children are almost grown
Daddy is Knocking on the door
It seems like Christmas comes faster with each passing year

We hear the neighbors playing Music, I can hear LesterÃ???s fiddle cry
Some old mountain magic melody, with about the birth of holy times

And it is Christmas in the moonlight, in the mountains of Tennessee
As the snow falls on the hillside as mother hangs the angel on the tree

Soon I will be grandpa, with that angel in my hand
And IÃ???ll come knocking on the door
IÃ???ll sit in quiet desperation for a holy Christmas night

We hear the Heaven playing music, I will hear LesterÃ???s fiddle cry
Some old mountain magic melody, with about the birth of holy times

It is Christmas in the moonlight in the mountains of Tennessee
As the snow falls on the hillside, as I hang that angel on the tree
ItÃ???s Christmas in the moonlight in the mountains of Tennessee
