Christmas Like A Lullaby

John Denver


Christmas like a lullaby 
Ssteals across the land
A breeze upon the water 
Rainfall upon the sand
We celebrate a baby born 
From spirit into man
And Christmas 
Like a lullaby 
Steals across the land

It's morning in Australia
In fact it's Christmas day
And Colorado never seemed 
So very far away
Back where night has fallen 
And it's still Christmas Eve
And snow is on the mountains 
Where I always hate to leave

Here I am down under 
With a brand new family
And Christmas bells 
Are ringing
And there's presents 
'Neath the tree
I know 
That it's been said before 
And now I know it's true
That home 
Is where the heart is
And Christmas 
Lives there too
And on this morning 
Peace on Earth
Is still 
Our fervent prayer
And I can hear it being
Whispered 
Softly everywhere

And guns 
Are called to silence
And anger called to still
And brotherhood 
Aand sisterhood
Surrounded by goodwill

Christmas like a lullaby 
Steals across the land
A breeze upon the water 
Rainfall upon the sand
We celebrate a baby born 
From spirit into man
And Christmas 
Like a lullaby 
Steals across the land
