You always come around this time of year with your big ole bag that's full of Christmas cheer
And when it starts to snow the little boys and girls all know soon they'll hear the sound of your reindeer

Now sometimes grownups grow up to believe that you don't really come on
Christmas Eve
But I don't think that's true 'cause I know I see you in sparking little eyes around the tree

Oh Santa Claus, I still believe in you
And there's still a kid inside of me that still believes you're true
Oh Santa Claus, the kids are tucked in tight
And it's time to play ole Santa Clause tonight

Well I don't see how anybody could ever doubt that there's really a Santa Clause.
Not if they've ever seen a little girl with her arms wrapped around her baby doll,
So tight both of 'em waking up Mama and Daddy way before daylight
And Grandma and Grandpa are looking young and full of life,
Just knowin' that their grandkids are gonna be alright
And Mama and Daddy, they'll be waitin' up to answer ole Santa's call.
"Cause tonight they ain't worried about the bills- Lord they're just lovin' it all

Oh Santa Claus, I still believe in you
And there's still a kid inside of me that still believes you're true
Oh Santa Claus, the kids are tucked in tight
And I'll be waiting up for you tonight
Ho-Ho-Ho

(Don Cook/Keith Whitley)

Out here is the country there's magic in the air.
It's the middle of December there's excitement eveywhere

Everyone's invited, the celebration's planned
The gift is just what's in your heart
And not what's in your hand

Who's the one we need to thanks
Who's the party for
Who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy
Who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy
Preacher said last Sunday it was Joesph and Mary's boy

There were times we didn't think
We'd make it through the year
The bankers tried to take our farms
But somehow we're still here

I don't know how our crops survived
The drought and then the rain
It must have been a miracle
How else could you explain

And who's the one we need to thanks
And who's the party for
And who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy
And who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy
Preacher said last Sunday it was Joesph and Mary's boy

The Christ Child born in Bethlehem
Joesph and Mary's boy

Everyone's invited, the celebration's planned
The gift is just what's in your heart
And not what's in your hand...

Smilin' faces on city streets, crowded shoppers, busy feet
And every smile just seems to say, we're having some Happy Holidays

Twinklin' lights on Christmas trees, kids up on Santa's knew
Busy lines on telephones, sending a Merry Christmas home

Bells ringing everywhere, season spirit in the air
Up and down the avenue, holiday dreams comin' true

A choir singing songs of cheer, carols we all love to hear
Rudolph with his glowin' nose, lovers under mistletoe

Postman bringin' Christmas cards, reindeer out in the yard
Frosty with his eyes of coal, present wrapped in pretty bows
Sidewalks full of happy eyes, flakes fallin' from the sky
Boys and girls at the big parade to see St. Nick up on his sleigh

The scene is set, it's beautiful, sounds of Peace, Joy and Love
From all of us we'd like to say, have yourself some Happy Holidays

. . .


There's a blanket of snow coverin' up the old road to the house where I was raised
Through the window I see the lights on the tree and a glow from the old fireplace
Though it all looks the same so much as changed from the way it used to be

Christmas memories of happy years gone by
They come back to me and keep me warm inside
Still those Christmas memories make me cry

Now the stockings are filled; the house is still and the kids are dreamin' away
There's that old easy chair, me and Daddy sat there waitin' for Santa's sleigh
Now Daddy's gone but we carry on 'cause the little ones will need...

Christmas memories of happy years gone by
They come back to me and keep me warm inside
Oh they mean so much to me
Those Christmas memories make me cry

. . .


The factories are all shut down and the shopping malls are all closed
And the busy streets are all empty except for the falling snow
And in the small towns, in the cities families gather as one
'Cause the night of love and sharing they look forward to has come

'Cause tonight is Christmas, tonight is love
Tonight we celebrate God's one and only Son
Tonight there's hope for peace on earth eternally
Tonight is Christmas and the world's in harmony

But across the seas two armies stare down at each other's guns
Each believing in their cause enough to die or kill the other one
But tonight there'll be no shooting, not a drop of blood will spill
They will cease their fire this silent night in the name of peace and goodwill

'Cause tonight is Christmas, tonight is love
Tonight we celebrate God's one and only Son
Tonight there's hope for peace on earth eternally
Tonight is Christmas and the world's in harmony

. . .


The city's full of manger scenes
And stores lit up in red and green.
But down the road just out of town
There's more magic to be found.
The countryside is all a-glow
With holly trees and mistletoe.
And in them woods there lives a bear
Known to all as Thistlehair. (not Thistlehear)

Chorus:
Oh, Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreadin' the good news everywhere.
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the world.
Every little boy and girl
Out there, love Thistlehair (not Thistlehear)


He comes around this time of year
Spreading lots of Christmas cheer.
The kids all love this shiny coat
And the smell of honey on his nose.
He tells them all about that star
And everything that it stands for.
The birthday we all celebrate
Is still our favorite holiday

Chorus:
Oh, Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreadin' the good news everywhere.
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the world.
Every little boy and girl
Out there, love Thistlehair (not Thistlehear)


Wherever you find old Thistlebear
There'll be music in the air.
He dances 'round the Christmas tree
Every single New Year's eve.
Then he and all his furry friends
GatherA 'Round the fire again
Singin' 'Bout those Angels' wings
Gifts of love that Christmas brings.

Chorus:
Oh, Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreadin' the good news everywhere.
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the world.
Every little boy and girl
Out there, love Thistlehair (not Thistlehear)

Thistlehair the Christmas bear (My song has all of this at end?)
Spreadin' the good news everywhere.
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the world.
Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreadin' the good news everywhere.
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the world.
Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreadin' the good news everywhere...

Come on weather man give us a forecast snowy white
Can't you hear the prayers of every childlike heart tonight
Rockies are callin', Denver snow fallin'
Somebody said it's four feet deep, but it doesn't matter
Give me the laughter, I'm gonna choose to keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas, the only Chirstmas for me
Where the love circles around us like the gifts around our tree
Well I know there's more snow up in Colorado than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas is the only Christmas for me

Every now and then I get a wanderin' urge to see
Maybe California, maybe Tinsel Town's for me
There's a parade there, we'd have it made there
Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve
Sure sounds exciting, awfully inviting, still I think I'm gonna keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas, the only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us like the gifts around our tree
Well they say in L.A. it's a warm holiday, it's the only place to be
A tender Tennessee Christmas, is the only Christmas for me

Well I know there's more snow up in Colorado than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas is the only Christmas for me
A tender Tennessee Christmas is the only Christmas for me

. . .


There's a road that I remember leading to a special place
Where the door was always open to a smiling face
There's a picture on the mantle of a boy that looks like me
It's always the same, there's a stocking with my name

And a candle in the window, a flame against the night
There's a candle in the window, it's like God's perfect light
It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are
Just a candle in the window

Maybe it's just wishful thinking I can hear the sleigh bells ring
Almost taste the pie she's baking, it's Christmas Eve

And there's a candle in the window, a flame against the night
The candle in the window, it's like God's perfect light
It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are
Just a candle in the window and Christmas in your heart

Wherever the years may take me no matter how far I go
There's going to be a candle burning, it's always nice to know
It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are
Just a candle in the window and Christmas in your heart

. . .


A glowin' fire and fallin' snow, they spark a memory
Stockings hangin', mistletoe, presents beneath a tree
A happy boy wakin' up to toys, lookin' so surprised
And wondering how Santa knew just when I closed my eyes

It's a Homecoming Christmas, goin' back to where it all began
Homecoming Christmas, I wanna be there once again
Memories do sweet and strong and I've been done too long
It's Christmas time and I'm comin' home

I can see the Christmas tree and feel the warm fireplace
Handmade decorations, homemade pies and cakes
Family all together with so much love to share
A special time and I can't wait, can't wait to be there

It's a Homecoming Christmas, goin' back to where it all began
Homecoming Christmas, I wanna be there once again
Memories do sweet and strong and I've been done too long
It's Christmas time and I'm comin' home

. . .


By now in New York City.
There's snow on the ground.
And out in California.
The sunshines' falling down.
And maybe down in Memphis, Graceland's all in lights.
And in Atlanta, Georgia, there's peace on earth tonight.

Christmas in Dixie, its snowing in the pines.
Merry Christmas from Dixie to everyone tonight.

Its windy in Chicago.
The kids are out of school.
There's magic in Motown.
The city's on the move.
In Jackson, Mississippi to Charlotte, Caroline.
And all across the Nation, its a peaceful Christmas time.

Christmas in Dixie, its snowing in the pines.
Merry Christmas from Dixie, to everyone tonight.
And from Fort Payne, Alabama..Merry Christmas tonight.
