We came to make this house a home With pure and good intent The lilacs and the butterflies Showed us what home meant They did the work that beauty does 'Til leaves shook to the ground And rain like candy cane made snow To turn the season 'round The people from the times before me Went out to the woods With an axe upon their shoulder Dreaming bigger, something good But Christmas can be made as new As footprints on the ground So when the snow is tall as me I'll make our banister bough Well, ask the cedar, ask the fir Ask the pine and ask the birds To come inside Then we'll ask the holly Ask the snow, ask the deer And the mistletoe to look alive The snow has made the night so quiet Let's make the fire crack And stir up something warm to drink Feet up and lean on back I'll lay the branches on the floor Arranged from big to small I'll grab some string or better yet Some ribbon or some yarn Then we'll loop it around, the spindles and rails This first banister bough, it's all it entails So let's open the boxes The baubles and bells The tinsel's as bright as the snow when it falls The lights we untangled are tangled again The presents we've given, the presents you've sent Are waiting under the banister bough
