LYRICS

My mind is drifting back as the snow begins
I close my eyes and see my hometown again
The mem’ries from my childhood Christmases so dear
All of them so long ago and yet so near,

The Christmas tree, Bing Crosby on the stereo
Mom is baking cookies, “May I have some dough?”
Mailmen bringing packages and cards from friends
A letter back to Santa tells how good I’ve been;

My mind is drifting back as the snow comes down
I close my eyes, and here I am in my hometown,
The main street sparkles red & green with Christmas lights
Happy voices calling through the cold brisk night

The fragile magic of the special ornaments
Passed down through generations hung at each Advent
Cherub faces in our choir robes, scrubbed and bright
Our little voices praising God this Holy night.

My mind is drifting back as the snowflakes end
I close my eyes an instant and I’m back again,
All the little moments that I hold so tight
Floating there just out of reach, yet in plain sight

The cookies and the milk - Santa must be fed
A story and a gentle kiss, I’m off to bed
It’s morning now already, did I ever sleep
My stocking’s full of wondrous treasures; nuts and sweets

My mind is moving forward as the snowfall melts
My heart is overflowing with the love I’ve felt
With simple pleasures past, our spirits shall renew
May Hometown Christmas feelings bring joy to you
May Hometown Christmas feelings bring joy to you
