The Turning of the Year

The Turning of the Year Music and lyrics by Elena Rayo VERSE 1 Cocoa and gingerbread Stockings on the hearth Taking out the ornaments With laughter and with mirth Incense and peppermints Dogs sleeping by the fire Returning to the innocence And angels in the choir Snow is falling softly In the still of the night Stars are brought down to the earth In the twinkling festive lights CHORUS Searching out the Christmas tree The scent of fresh fir Sleigh bells ringing through the woods The running of the deer We made it through the darkest days And proved our love is true I have all I want for Christmas As long as I have you VERSE 2 Each ornament a memory Of celebrations past My grandmother's glass candy cane The years are flowing fast Trimming our Christmas tree You're strumming your guitar Singing "little drummer boy" As I place the star There is light inside this darkness And courage in our fear Tis a joy to come together At the turning of the year CHORUS Searching out the Christmas tree The scent of fresh fir Sleigh bells ringing through the woods The leaping of the deer We made it through the darkest days And proved our love is true I have all I want for Christmas As long as I have you c 2022 Mugwort Manor Music BMI
