lyrics

Christmas Present (Bluegrass Mix)
By Jim Gleason & Tom Green -- © 2023 Grilled Weasel Music (ASCAP)

Just outside my bedroom window snow was falling.
I was looking out, just trying to find some proof.
Mom & Dad asleep, and me up waiting
Trying to hear the reindeer on the roof.

When morning came, I found my pile of treasures
Mama said “I got my treasure, too.
My greatest gift is Christmas Present,
Here this day with you.”

Now I know the truth of what she told us.
Now I know how precious time can be.
Wrapped in love, the greatest gift,
You present here, this day with me.

Rich or poor, it’s just as much a treasure.
Young or old, it’s always bright and new.
Wrapped in love, our Christmas Present,
Christmas here with you…
Wrapped in love, our Christmas Present,
Christmas here with you
