rudolph the little reindeer could not pull his sleigh
poor chap caught covid and locked himself away
into isolation away from all the rest
for all the other reindeers thought it would be the best

santa got the doctor he came right away
told him in his stable little rudolph he must stay
rudolph he got better in a day or two
worry it was over he only had the flu

now rudolph he his happy that he could pull his sleigh
ready for the children to open christmas day
rudolph had his jab case  covid came his away
and inside his stable he wouldnt have to stay

i took a trip to lapland to visit santa claus
to his great big grotto with great big wooden doors
watch him stack his toys on his wooden sleigh
in his home in lapland so very far away

i looked through the window santa he was there
lots and lots of toys stacked up everywhere
he got a great big sack filled it up with the toys
lots of christmas presents for all the girls and boys

now i believe in santa and all that i have seen
and a santa claus there as always been
now when christmas comes he will visit me
i know that he his real i have been to see

winter solstice comes
bare trees, long hibernation
~ don’t risk bleeding lips

gardens lie fallow
field mice attempting entry
~ long dark frigid nights

i fell in love with you when you looked at me
the love light in your eyes i could plainly see
you took my breath away set my spirit free
i new from that moment we were meant to be

with you eyes so blue the smile up on your face
you took the heart in me to a dfferent place
when you held my hand i just love you more
such a lovely feeling i never felt before

the girl in my dreams waiting there for me
i knew when i saw you we were meant to be
you took my heart away set my spirit free
i will love you always and eternally

when you fall in love you give your heart and soul
with a love thats true with a love thats whole
spend your life together with lots of love to share
with each beat of your heart love is always there

never let it die or ever fade away
love it is for real in your heart must stay
share it everyday thats what love is for
then each and everyday love grows even more

make it last for ever make it always true
keep the love you have.  there inside of you
for ever and for always you will always be
in love for evermore for eternity
