Big old snowflakes are falling My eyes are still misting Thinking of past Christmas cheer I've been gone for so long It's good to get back home For Christmas in the country this year Well, I'm back in the country for Christmas Where the home fires are burning so clear The family's together, the circle's unbroken Back in the country for Christmas this year There's no time like the present To say thanks to the good Lord For all these good gifts we share We're all gathered together 'Round the old family Bible To say thanks for Christmas this year Well, I'm back in the country for Christmas Where the home fires are burning so clear The family's together, the circle's unbroken Back in the country for Christmas this year O the family's together, the circle's unbroken Back in the country for Christmas this year
