Christmas Day Coming lyrics

Christmas day is about to arrive

And I thank God that I'm still alive

To enjoy my family, and lots of love

The whispering wind, the cooing dove

Giggling children, smiling old folks too

With all this Christmas I can't be blue

I've seen Christmas come and go

The memories back then, bring no woe

For those who are gone, I'm glad we met

Not a person gone by, I've lived to forget

Christmas comes but once a year

But to me it is always so near

Thankful I am for peace of mind

I hope only for peace among mankind

That you will all share in the love

Still down here, or far up above
