Samm Goen - Christmas Is Wherever You Live Lyrics

She comes home smiling like she doesn't see the news
The world is crying
Her arms get scratched as she pulls
The Christmas tree out from its hole again
The lights are bright and blue and red
Little figures from when she was just a little one
Hung with golden string
Dusty but beautiful and young
Two minutes 'til the hot cocoa is done
Glitter brushed on her cheeks
The soft fire's caroling
Cuddling a blanket and a nice warm, minty drink
The smell of chocolate chips
In her heart, it all just fits
No need to take a trip cause Christmas is wherever you live
A truck pulls up outside her home
Her loved ones climb out of the doors
Her heart lights up like Rudolph's nose
She opens the door and in they flow again
She never wants this to end
Her dad's wearing a Santa hat
And her mom brought a sack full of festive snacks
Her sister's wearing a Hawaiian shirt matching with the dog
You can tell it's not the first
She loves them more than words
A Christmas Story on the TV
They recite each line from memory
Childhood is at the door
Along with the ones who aren't here anymore
As the moon's pulled up
Sleighbells ring out from the dust
No need to take a trip cause Christmas is wherever you live
This night is filled with happy laughter
Some things they never change
She's confident that this holiday is one that will remain
She comes home smiling like she doesn't see the news
The world is crying
Her arms get scratched as she pulls
The Christmas tree out from its hole again
They're the lights that will never dim
