A MIDWINTER NIGHT'S DREAM | Words and Music by Mitchell Stone | Copyright © Emstone Music Publishing (BMI)

Peace and love and Christmas trees
The stars on top and families
Horse-drawn sleighs in a snowy haze
Holly and tinsel and candy canes
Frozen lakes with snowflakes that fall
Where people skate near a fire
Reasons for the season in the year's closing days
When carols are sung by a choir
In a midwinter night's dream

A midwinter night's dream
Not the only thing that wakes me up
There's mistletoe, angels in the snow, and eggnog in a cup
Gifting big and small, snowmen short and tall, and all the children who play
That big parade that makes a mark on everybody's brain
Fat man, red suit, fruitcakes, and computer games
Cheese and wine
The smell of pine
Shopping in stores and online
A midwinter night's dream, a midwinter night's dream

In my mind this time of year, photos appear, love flows
Hearts gone by...those that survive...and that reindeer's shiny red nose
And that man among us God chose
The main thing makes me dance and sing, and realize the cheer
Is that starlit night so long ago, more than two thousand years
More than two thousand years ago

In a midwinter night's dream

Holiday suppers satisfy with turkey, ham, and pumpkin pie
I'm not the chosen one but I do enjoy my life
There are those, I hear, who live in fear, and I pray they have less strife
In this season of good cheer, I think of helpin' others
For those who have less than me are still my sisters and brothers
They're still my sisters and brothers

In my mind this time of year, photos appear, love flows
Hearts gone by...those that survive...and that reindeer's shiny red nose
And that man among us God chose
The main thing makes me dance and sing, and realize the cheer
Is that starlit night so long ago, more than two thousand years
More than two thousand years ago

Oh yeah, you're in my midwinter night's dream
Yeah, ha ha
I'll see ya around
Merrrrrrrry Christmas, ho ho ho
