If It Don't Snow In Heaven

(Verse 1)

You always strung the lights just right and sipped your cider slow

Wrote cards to every neighbor, sang carols in the snow

Now Christmas feels a little less like joy and more like ache

But I still hang your stocking up beside the fireplace

(Chorus)

If it don’t snow in heaven, I’ll send a little prayer

With angel wings and candy canes to meet you in the air

I hope there’s trees with tinsel and cocoa warm and deep

And jingle bells to wake you from your perfect Christmas sleep

If it don’t snow in heaven, I’ll believe it does for you

‘Cause I see you in the snowfall every Christmas or two

(Verse 2)

I put your favorite records on, your ornament still shines

We told the kids your stories like you never left behind

The choir sang your favorite hymn, the one about the star

And I swore I felt your arms again, no matter where you are

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)

There’s halos in the snowfall, there’s halos in the night

And when the candle flickers, I still feel your guiding light

(Final Chorus) (with harmonies)

If it don’t snow in heaven, then let the angels know

To sprinkle just a little down each time I miss you so

And when the snowflakes hit my lips, I’ll smile and look above

‘Cause Christmas keeps you close to me, wrapped in holy love
