The sun shines on
This ol’ frosty ridge
Cardinals hoping to find
Seed on the lawn
Just a smidge
Tennessee on my mind...
Chimney smoke fills
The evening skies
Blends into the Heavens
Mountains grow still
Until the sunrise
As Christmas begins...
I took a ride
Away from there
Oh how I wish to be
Mountainside
It’s my prayer
Christmas in Tennessee...
It’s not a time of day
Or hour at night
It’s just a feeling
It’s the way
It’s the light
Immersed in healing...
The moonlight
Casts a glow
Across December’s freeze
Glitters in the night
On the new fallen snow
Christmas in Tennessee...
I took a ride
Away from there
Oh how I wish to be
Mountainside
It’s my prayer
Christmas in Tennessee...
