John Denver Christmas Like a Lullaby song lyrics

Christmas, Like A Lullaby

This song was first released on the Christmas, Like A Lullaby Album. It is the

only album it has been released on.

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

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 and 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
