"Christmas Dream" Lyrics

(Ferlin Husky)

I dreamed I spent my Christmas with my family
I heard the sleigh bells ringing from afar
I dreamed I helped my sisters decorate the tree
And my brother held me up to hang the star.

Mama and my papa and all the kids were there
We opened up our presents then we had the family prayer
I spent a lovely Christmas with my family
Even if it was a Christmas dream.

I dreamed I spent my Christmas with the family
And what I wouldn't give if it were so
I dreamed my mama kissed me and buttoned up my coat
And said, ''Now, go and play out in the snow.''

Poor old papa carved the turkey and little sister cut the cake
Then we bowed our heads and all gave thank
We said, ''In Jesus name and for his sake.''
I had a lovely Christmas with my family
Even if it was a Christmas dream...
