• Frosty days and ice-still nights,
    Chrsitmas trees trimmed with tiny lights,
    The sound of sleigh bells in the snow,
    That was Christmas long ago.

    Kids on sleds and shouts of glee,
    Icy-window filigree,
    Sugarplums and candle glow,
    Part of Christmas long ago.

    Footsteps stealthy on the stair,
    Sweet-voiced carols in the air,
    Stocking hanging in a row,
    Tell of Christmas long ago.

    Starry nights so still and blue,
    Good friends calling out to you,
    Life, so fact, will always slow...
    For dreams of Christmas long ago.
