The Christmas Waltz
The Rob McConnell Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way, he's filled his sleigh
With things, things for you and for me
It's that time of year when the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
Merry Christmas, may your New Year dreams come true
Wishes you and yours the same thing too
It's that time of year when the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say
Merry Christmas, may your New Year dreams come true
And this song of mine in three quarter time
Wishes you and yours the same thing too
