about

A Christmas song for my Daughter, Evelyn.

lyrics

Close your eyes, and go back to bed, I know you’ll rise and shine when morning comes again, one last story then you rest your sleepy head, close your eyes and go back to bed.

When I was young, just about your age, we travelled north to where it’s winter every day, all roads end somewhere so we walked most of the way, and met some kind stranger on the eve before Christmas day.

He smiled behind a beard white and offered us a ride, back to his home where he said we could spend the night, with a gentle lift his sleigh had taken flight, drawn by reindeer through that northern evening sky.

Close your eyes, and go back to bed, I know you’ll rise and shine when morning comes again, one last story then you rest your sleepy head, close your eyes and go back to bed.

There in a clearing was a house all strung with lights, we landed softly and he welcomed us inside, he headed for his workshop as we warmed up by the fire, he said I hope that you’ll excuse me, but at dusk I’ve got to fly.

I woke up on Christmas morning, a little bit confused, I must’ve slept the whole way home and been carried to my room, I know you’re thinking how could all of that be true… My parents said this card is signed to you, and who it’s from we haven’t got a clue, there inside was just one line and as I read my eyes grew wide, it said “it was a pleasure meeting all of you.”

Close your eyes, and go back to bed, I know you’ll rise and shine when morning comes again, one last story then you rest your sleepy head, close your eyes and go back to bed.
