Lyrics
It’s Christmas morning, the snow is falling.
The children have been up for hours.
Their stockings are scattered, amid ribbons and bows,
Books, toys, and new clothes.
Now the house is quiet, save for the crackle of the fire
The children are lost in their toys.
The cats are asleep, back under their tree,
Now it’s just you and me.
You in your flannel Christmas pajamas,
Me in my slippers and robe.
As we waltz ‘round the room, nice and slow,
And pause ‘neath the ol’ mistletoe.
This Christmas morning, in a year like no other,
We’ve had a chance to slow down.
Our own celebration, with few obligations,
Didn’t even have to leave town.
It’s just you in your flannel Christmas pajamas,
Me in my slippers and robe.
As we waltz ‘round the room, nice and slow,
And pause ‘neath the ol’ mistletoe
As we waltz ‘round the room, nice and slow,
And pause ‘neath the ol’ mistletoe
