Snowflakes fall while chestnuts glow,
Grandma’s cocoa steams below;
We hang our dreams on cedar boughs,
Every heart remembers how
To light a candle, sing his name—
Donny croons, the fireplace flames;
Tinsel spins like years before,
Footsteps echo at the door.
Bring your joy, your grief, your rhyme,
Wrap it tight in borrowed time;
For this Christmas, we are here,
Love arriving, crystal clear.
