Tennessee Christmas

Ronnie Milsap & Alabama

(Gary Chapman/Amy Grant)



Come on weather man give us a forecast snowy white

Can't you hear the prayers of every child like heart tonight

Rockies are callin', Denver snow fallin'

Somebody said it's four feet deep, but it doesn't matter

Give me the laughter, I'm gonna choose to keep.



Another tender Tennessee Christmas,

The only Chirstmas 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'd have it made there

Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve

Sure sounds exciting, awfully inviting,

Still I think I'm gonna keep.



Another tender Tennessee Christmas,

It's 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

A tender Tennessee Christmas,

It's the only Christmas to me.



It's the only Christmas to me

Come on let us have

An every now and then

A tender Tennessee Christmas.



Tender Tennessee Christmas...
