Lyrics
The Wonder of Christmas
If the recording company/publiser is interested in having this lyric put to a new melody by another composer please contact me. I say this because I believe there is a potential great Christmas song in this lyric if it is given the melody it deserves.

Verse1
Schools near to closin' and warm yuletide wishes
Home fires glowin' and mistletoe kisses
Tiny tots asking if reindeer have wings
Christmas is all of these wonderful things
Verse2
Gifts in gold ribbons and trees in bright tinsel
Cute little greeting cards drawn in red pencil
Kids trying to teach Mr. Snowman to sing
Christmas is all of these wonderful things
Verse3
Bell chimes to song rhymes in old yuletide pieces
Golden roast turkey, warm chestnuts and cheeses
Tiny sleuths spying on what Santa may bring
Christmas is all of these wonderful things
Refrain
When the snow falls and my nose chills
I know Christmas will soon be here
Then the feeling is gone but the magic and thrills
Will be on me soon next year
Verse4
Dreams rushed to Santa and nights full of waiting
Streams of wild shoppers and folks celebrating
Reindeer that fly Santa's sleigh while I dream
Christmas is all of these wonderful things
END OF SONG
Alternate refrain if new melody is composed
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Then snowflakes dance to sleigh bells
and a snowbird flaunts it's chorus
That the magic is spun and we're caught in the spell
Of a wonderful, wonderful Christmas
