lyrics

Carolina Christmas, skies silver
evergreens wear raindrops, like diamonds,
crystal coronets on queens.
Turkey's in the oven, and ham,
fruitcakes and yams:
the grace of the Lord.

Higher in the mountains where Christmas,
wrapped in new snows:
stiff fingers, cold nose.
Walking in the evening: there's Mars,
and, oh, just a million stars.

Chorus: Christmas in Carolina
friends gathered here round the tree
evergreen or snow-white,
Carolina's delight--
a fine Merry Christmas to you.

Christmas cards and candies are scattered;
constellations here, there,
all through the house.
Mistletoe and ribbons hang high,
and outside, that wide Christmas sky.

Carolina caroling, doorbells
ring down the street
spiced cider, steaming and sweet.
Neighbors laugh and join in, there's such
a moon, bright and lush ---
just reach up and touch.

Chorus: Christmas in Carolina
friends gathered here round the tree
evergreen or snow-white,
Carolina's delight--
a fine Merry Christmas to you.

Evergreen or snow-white,
Carolina's delight--
a fine Merry Christmas to you.
