A Mother's Christmas Lullaby

lyrics by Hannah Cabrera
music to hopefully follow :)

Last December white snow fell
The same way it does each year
Tinsel hung and carols sung
For all the world to hear

But something's changed this twenty-fifth
Marking it from each other
This year is different from the rest
Because I am a mother

CHORUS:
When I hold you it's easier to imagine Mary sweet
Holding her baby close to her heart
The Savior with his tiny feet
and his tiny hands and his tiny eyes
and his tiny little nose
Now it's easier to imagine
as I hold my baby close

I think the stable disappeared
as she looked into his eyes
And with a gentle mother's hand
She soothed his baby cries

Mary, is this how you felt
when you held your little boy?
That the world fit neatly in your arms
your soul consumed with endless joy?

CHORUS:
When I hold you it's easier to imagine Mary sweet
Holding her baby close to her heart
The Savior with his tiny feet
and his tiny hands and his tiny eyes
and his tiny little nose
Now it's easier to imagine
as I hold my baby close
