When Christmas lights glow

Then also does my heart

Warmed by cheer effusing

In a winter sky of dark

They stand against the starry sky

And twinkle through the night

Heralding the season

With rays of candlelight

And it matters not the color

Whether red or green or blue

White of sparkling crystal

Or of golden-amber hue

I cannot help but smile

Each time I see them glow

They remind me of childhood Christmases

So many years ago

For Christmas is for children

And though I am full grown

These simple strands of light and joy

Always bring the holidays home
