(Boudleaux Bryant)<br />
<br />
(Christmas can't be far away.)<br />
<br />
A neighbor tipped his hat to me this morning<br />
The landlord even smiled and said good day<br />
And I want you to know, a stranger said hello<br />
Christmas can't be far away.<br />
<br />
Old titewad down the street is buying candy<br />
To pass out to the neighbor kids at play<br />
The town is on the go, the weather man said snow<br />
Christmas can't be far away.<br />
<br />
The small fry on our block have all been saving<br />
And now they're hiding things and looking sly<br />
Mom will get that do-dat she's been craving<br />
And dad'll get his usual Christmas tie.<br />
<br />
Both young and old are planning sweet surprises<br />
They'll soon be tied with ribbons bright and gay<br />
Good will is in the air, you feel it everywhere<br />
Christmas can't be far away.<br />
<br />
Christmas can't be far away...
