Just Around the Corner, But Too Far Away

The leaves are starting to change.

(It’s just around the corner)

For now I’m buying school supplies and pulling out sweaters.

It’s just around the corner, but still too far away for

Brown paper packages tied up with string.

The air is now crisp.

(It’s just around the corner)

Still ahead are trick or treaters and scary movies.

It’s just around the corner, but still too far away to

Deck the halls with silver bells.

Pumpkins and cranberries

(It’s just around the corner)

Upcoming big family dinner with turkey and stuffing and 3 kinds of potatoes.

It’s just around the corner, but still too far away to

Be walking in a winter wonderland.

December First! Yay!

It’s just around the corner!

White Christmas shopping on city sidewalks, Bringing a torch on a silent night

Hallelujah, I heard the bells

It’s just around the corner, and I finally get to play my

Fa-la-la-la-laa-la-la-la-la!

CHRISTMAS MUSIC!
