Lyrics
Downy snowflakes gently drifting, as December has it's way; Hillsides painted white with frosting, forma perfect winter day. Fir and pine trees dress forwinter, donning glistening coats ofwhite; Snow drifts turn the once green meadows, to a winterland delight. (Chorus) Sing a song of Merry Christmas, lift your voices loud and strong;Giving thanks to God the father, for the Lord comedown. (v.2)Snowflakes falling, softly calling, people home from far and near; Colored lights on every corner, seem tomagically appear. Snow is blowing, fire is glowing, winter's hand is on the earth; Night is falling, church bells calling, celebrate the Christ Child's birth.(tag) Choirs singinh Alleluia, echo through the sleepy town; As each heart gives thanks in silence, Christ the Lord is Born.
