The snow was falling all around
The trees looked beautiful in white
I heard the sleigh bells ringing
So I climbed into the carriage
And sang Christmas songs
Of pure delight
As I went through the town
I saw it lit with Christmas cheer
Toys in every window
That looked so very real
The horses drawing the sleigh
Seemed to know it was Christmas
With people rushing here and there
All the little children watching puppet shows
The elves reading them pretty stories
Of Christmas long ago
It was beautiful with all the white snow
And the angel on top of the Christmas tree
At the bottom was the village
With tiny houses and children skating
Santa with his toys of sweet delight
A sleigh ride to remember
with gladness
For the rest of my life
