Lyrics

The Holly Song 12/2004 ? R.W.Ives & S.M.Long

If holly dances with light in the deep winter freeze
And stands bright with color next to dormant gray trees
Imagine strong roots, your arms reaching for light
And a warmth born of color .....holly blooms when snow?s white. REPEAT LINE


Sometimes it isn?t just memory yet green,
But the real root and branch standing gleaming and clean.
A flood of rich color over grays and snow white.
Bloom of sudden life in a long Frozen night. REPEAT LINE

Touching when you have no voice. Caring because you have no choice.
Like holly on a winter?s day. Silently shouting what it has to say. REPEAT

REPEAT first verse.




Reach deep and reach high in a sparkling new year. Like a holly tree aglow in the season of cheer.
Branches and roots that are safe from the frost. Remember the seasons, no day?s ever lost.

If holly dances with light in the deep winter freeze
And stands bright with color next to dormant gray trees
May your mem?ries stay green and your future be long
With starlit bright dreams and a heart filled with song. REPEAT
