"Christmas In Boston Town"
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Snow falls soft on Beacon Hill
Gas lamps glowing, time stands still
Faneuil Hall all dressed in white
Market stalls lit up tonight
While shoppers weave through Quincy's ways
Like they did in bygone days
The vendors call their Christmas cheer
Just like they have year after year
[Chorus]
Christmas in Boston town
Memories come falling down
Like snowflakes on the Common ground
Where children play and skaters round
History and present day
Dancing in this winter's sway
Christmas in Boston town
Coming home again
[Verse 2]
Old North Church bells ring so clear
While crowds pack tables down at Cheers
The Harbor's dark against the snow
Where Old Ironsides stands below
The swan boats sleep beneath the ice
While couples stroll through Paradise
Down Commonwealth's tree-lined way
As evening dims the winter day
[Verse 3]
The State House dome shines golden bright
Above the Common's twinkling lights
The Freedom Trail winds through the snow
Past Paul Revere's home down below
While students hurry home for break
Past frozen Frog Pond's icy lake
The city holds its memories dear
As Christmas time draws ever near
[Bridge]
From Copley Square to Fenway Park
The city glows against the dark
Each brownstone wears a wreath with pride
While history and present collide
The future meets the past right here
In Boston's magic time of year
[Verse 4]
The Back Bay windows sparkle bright
With candles burning in the night
The Public Garden peaceful sleeps
While winter's watch the city keeps
From Charlestown Bridge to Southie's streets
Where old and new so gently meet
This city shares its Christmas dreams
With everyone, or so it seems
[Chorus]
Christmas in Boston town
Memories come falling down
Like snowflakes on the Common ground
Where children play and skaters round
History and present day
Dancing in this winter's sway
Christmas in Boston town
Coming home again
[Chorus]
Christmas in Boston town
Memories come falling down
Like snowflakes on the Common ground
Where children play and skaters round
History and present day
Dancing in this winter's sway
Christmas in Boston town
Coming home again
[Instrumental Outro]
