Come on weatherman give us a forecast snowy white
Can't you hear the prayers of every childlike heart tonight
The Rockies are callin', Denver snow fallin'
Somebody said it's four feet deep, but it doesn't matter
Just give me the laughter cause I'm gonna choose to keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas, the only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us like the gifts around our tree
Well, I know there's more snow up in Colorado than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas is the only Christmas for me

Every now and then I get a wanderin' urge to see
Maybe California, maybe Tinsel Town's for me
There's a parade there, we'll have it made there
Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve
It sure sounds exciting, awfully inviting, but still I think I'm gonna keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas, the only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us like the gifts around our tree
Well, they say in L.A. it's a warm holiday, it's the only place to be
But a tender Tennessee Christmas is the only Christmas for me

Oh, you know, I wanna be home (wanna be home)

Well, I know there's more snow up in Colorado than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas is the only Christmas for me
A tender Tennessee Christmas is the only Christmas for me

Merry Christmas, everybody!
