Back up in the mountains in the old home town of mine
There s not a brighter time of the year than the Christmas time
The bells in the little church, they all begin to chime
Telling all for miles around rejoice it's Christmas time
Christmas bells are ringing, and I hear the chime so sweet
The carolers are singing now I hear them in the street
Outside the white snow falling, inside my heart I ll find
A world of joy and peace on earth back at Christmas time
A candle in each window, they give a golden glow
But out among the shimmering pines, lights sparkle in the snow
And through the lonely mountain tops, the wind trill echoes cry
For peace on earth good will toward men and faith that we ll not die
* Refrain
High above our little town so bright to be so far
There shines upon the whole wide world his gift our guiding star
Everyone in each home can feel the peace sublime
And know the joy the yuletide bring to all at Christmas time
* Refrain
