Old friends have been dropping in
Sharing stories from way back when
Special moments of Christmas cheer
From those we love far and near.
This time of year when hope glows strong
That the gift in the manger will help you along.
It isn’t the gifts with fancy paper and bows
That truly calm life’s earthly woes.
It is the Christmas spirit who arrives
Lifting your heart for a journey to stay alive.
Old friends have been dropping in
Sharing love that will never end.
