SO NEAR TO CHRISTMAS

So very near to christmas
with gifts strewn all around
and if you walk in the woods today
you would see hazlenuts on the ground

So very near to christmas
and i am all alone
i hope with all my heart
that some one come's around

so very near to christmas
and as i listen very hard
is it some one come to wish me
a merry christmas and with a card

so very near to christmas
and hey i am not alone
friends and family are here
and gathered all around

so very near to christmas
oh isnt it such fun
to see my little grandchildren
with thier toys scattered all around.
