Under the Mistletoe



Under The Mistletoe

As we sit
by the nightly fire
what dreams and hopes
will lovingly transpire

On the mantle
stocking hang with care
children sleeping
this love we share

We are warmed
 by the fire's glow
it's gleam sparkles
in our eyes it shows

over the river
and through the woods
it reaches all
in e - ver -y  neighborhood

The wind may whistle
and the snow may blow
But I enjoy your love
under " The Mistletoe "
