Jack Mercer - Christmas Morning

The house ain’t quiet anymore

I hear those footsteps down the hall

There’s wrapping paper on the floor

And somebody’s already called

The coffee’s on, the lights are bright

The tree is shining like a star

And after all the years I’ve seen

I still can’t believe how beautiful we are

It’s Christmas morning

Look at everybody here

Christmas morning

The best sound I’ve heard all year

Don’t need a thing beneath that tree When the ones I love

are close to me

It’s Christmas morning

And that’s enough for me

I see the little ones running

With their pajamas inside out

Somebody’s laughing in the kitchen

Somebody’s calling, “Come on out!”

Mama’s standing in the doorway

And nobody wants to eat just yet

’Cause for a little while this morning

We get every Christmas back again

It’s Christmas morning

Look at everybody here

Christmas morning The best sound I’ve heard all year

Don’t need a thing beneath that tree

When the ones I love are close to me

It’s Christmas morning

And that’s enough for me

I’ve watched some faces leave this world

I’ve watched some little ones grow tall

I’ve learned that Christmas isn’t perfect It never was,

it never will be at all But every year when morning comes

Those old memories come walking through

I thank the Lord for one more Christmas And one more morning

here with you

(One more morning) One more morning!

(Jack) One more Christmas!

One more Christmas!

It’s Christmas morning

Hear those bells ringing clear

Don’t need a thing beneath that tree

When the ones I love are close to me

It’s Christmas morning

And that’s enough for me

Let the whole house sing today

Let the old songs fill the room Christmas isn’t in the presents

It’s the people who come home to you
