When Christmas Comes to Carolina
When the birds have flown south for the winter
And the pine trees are laden with snow
I have to follow my heart each December
To wintry white hillsides and ice-covered roads
When the sounds of the season are calling
It's music I just can't ignore
I button my coat 'cause the temperature's falling
And warm to the memory of Christmas of old
When Christmas comes to Carolina
Little girls watch snowflakes twirl
Like angels on the wind
Church bells ring and choirs sing
"Peace on earth, good will to men"
When Christmas comes to Carolina again
Shepherds and carols and mangers
Prayers of sincere gratitude
Folks lending hands to a friend or a stranger
That's why tonight every road leads to You
When Christmas comes to Carolina
Little girls watch snowflakes twirl
Like angels on the wind
Church bells ring and choirs sing
"Peace on earth, good will to men"
When Christmas comes to Carolina again
