It's Good to be Home

 

There’s a new snow on these mountains. Ember’s burning in the stove.

Frost and steam on the window pane; Smiling faces all aglow.

Winter light is slowly fading. Chimney smoke smells of pine.
And it’s the sweetest thing to be here with you to share with you
this time.
 

Winter air is crisp and brittle, but inside the heart is warm.
All cares are long forgotten, embraced by loving arms.
The oil lamp burns low now. Yawning eyes drift off to sleep.
And if I should die before I wake, pray the Lord my soul keep.

1st Chorus
It’s so good to be home, just to be with you.
The joy that you bring, the little things you do.
You’re warm as an amber hue. Oh, how I love you.
It’s so good to be with you.

A flicker from the fire throws loving shadows across the room.
A flock of geese journeys south again, flying high across the moon.
Winter light has long since faded. Chimney smoke smells of pine.
And it’s the sweetest thing to be here with you, to share with you
this time.

2nd Chorus
It’s so good to be home. Can’t tell how long its been.
Where no one feels alone. Don’t want to leave again.
My family and my friends. I pray it never ends.
It’s good to be with you again.

Sounds of sighs, sounds of laughter, sharing tales of yesterday.
Oh, and supper’s almost ready. Please, don’t go away.
Precious moments spent together all too soon they slip away.
Still, the greatest gift is the love we share and memories made
today!(1st and 2nd Chorus)
