Christmas Is Near- Stanley Brothers
Out in the country, 'bout this time of year
Everybody’s happy Christmas time is near.
Little children playin’ runnin’ to and fro
Santa Clause a comin’ riding all the snow
I remember years ago when just a lad at home
How I longed for Christmas time nothing could go wrong
Now the days I look back seem like just a year
Goin’ back to see them all Christmas time is near
Holly’s in the window fireplace burnin’ bright
Candles lights a glowing on a Christmas night
I’ll see their smiling faces once again this year
Waitin’ for me at the door Christmas time is near
I can see the pine trees now a swayin’ here and there
They seem to know its Christmas joy everywhere
Ice froze on the branches water cool and clear
Snow flakes a fallin’ Christmas time is near
