Lyrics

California Christmas


I'll miss the flickering fire
And the presents 'round the tree
I'm the only one who won't be there
Couldn't get away, but the Lord has given me
A long awaited answer to a prayer

So it's a California Christmas
And the waves that crest with foam
Glisten like the snowflakes
That I used to watch at home

We've admired each other for so long
But only from afar
And finally my darling, here we are

On this California Christmas
And the way the palm trees sway
Seem to say "come follow"
All our friends who leave today
But I'd rather watch those silver planes vanish in the blue
On this California Christmas here with you

(instrumental)

Yes I'd rather watch those silver planes
Vanish in the blue
On this California Christmas here with you
On this California Christmas here with you
