Christmas In Connecticut
By Tom Callinan © 2009 - Cannu Yusic, Ltd.
RREFRAIN: It's Christmas in Connecticut, from the Berkshires
to the Sound,
And along each winding river, in each and every town.
Candle-lights a'twinkling behind the wavy glass
Of windows in colonial homes, which passersby drive
past,
On their way to a country lane, where houses light their
way,
And people come to gape and gaze from near and far away.
REFRAIN
Carollers go door-to-door, bringing Christmas cheer;
Good-will and Peace to all the Earth, for merry folks
to hear.
Even going out for groceries is pleasanter as well,
Because of people in the cold, reminding us with bells.
REFRAIN
On Constitution Plaza, "The Festival Of Lights",
Is an awesome winter wonderland on the chilliest of
nights.
And driving I-691, alone and after dark,
The joy from snowflakes in the trees flows out of Hubbard
Park.
REFRAIN
Some folks go to Bethlehem to stamp their Christmas
cards,
And others visit Mystic, with its spars and masts and
yards.
Some hop aboard with old St. Nick when he rides the
Essex train,
Or march along by torchlight with fifes and drums on
Saybrook's Main.
REFRAIN
Towns and cities, large and small, light their Christmas
trees,
And the hearty souls brave wind and cold for living
nativities.
At sites throughout the Nutmeg State, dazzling displays
Await the throngs that venture out right up through
3 Kings Day.
