Lyrics
Christmas card memories, trees dressed in white, the evening is glowing with glittering lights; Rosey cheeked carolers stop at each door, it's Christmas once more. "Aweay in a Manger" floats on the air, Holiday greetings are heard eerywhere, soft, furry snowflakes drift gently down, on CHRISTMAS IN MY HOMETOWN. All of my loved ones have gathered again, granddad tells stories of life "way back when", to wide eyed grandchildren gatheered around, they don't make a sound. The toen is settleing down for the night, children are almost asleep, but not quite, visions of Santa and reindeer abound, at CHRISTMAS IN MY HOMETOWN. (BRIDGE) *Part of me's with you though I'm far away, it don't seem like Christmas out here in L.A.(or)*Home is the one place that I'd rather be, it don't seem like Christmas here in Tennesee, I'd trade all the sunshine that flows from above, to celebrate Christmas with those that I love.(tag) Sweet recolections dance in my mind, candy cane memories of younger times, it won't be long now till I'm homeward bound, "cause I'm coming home this Christmas, for CHRISTMAS IN MY HOMETOWN.
