美國基督流行樂女王［艾美葛蘭特］──民謠／聖誕抒情曲──［Tennessee Christmas／田納西聖誕］

Come on weatherman
Give us a forecast snowy white
Cant you hear the prayers
Of every childlike heart tonight?
Rockies are calling
Denver snow falling
Somebody said its four feet deep
But it doesnt matter
Give me the laughter
Im gonna choose to keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree
Well, I know theres more snow
Up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me

Every now and then
I get a wanderin urge to see
Maybe California
Maybe Tinseltowns for me
Theres a parade there
Wed have it made there
Bring home a tan for New Years Eve
Sure sounds exciting
Awfully inviting
Still I think Ill gonna keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gift around our tree
Well they say in L. A
Its a warm holiday
Its the only place to be
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me

Ooh, yeah, yeah
Oh, you know I wanna be home
Mmm-hmm
Well I know theres more snow
Up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me
A tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me
