Lyrics
Cape Breton Christmas Morn

The morning is breaking, young eyes open wide
The magic of Christmas is burning inside
There?s snow on the front porch and Mom?s baking pies
With a love that?s found deep in her eyes
Chorus: And we?ll sing along together
Those same old favorite songs
And we?ll deck the halls with boughs and all
On this Cape Breton Christmas morn
My Dad?s in his big chair as friends come to call
There?s a quake in his voice as he sings to us all
But the melody?s pure and the sentiment clear
And he smiles as the children draw near
Chorus
Now Christmas is Christmas wherever you are
be you snug by your fire or travelling far
For the spirit of Christmas is the baby adorned
On this Cape Breton Christmas Morn
Chorus
