Twas a Christmas Eve night in the Adirondacks (song)

Song: Twas a Christmas Eve night in the Adirondacks
Music, Lyrics & Voices: Ai

[verse 1}
The cabins are cozy, with a warm, amber glow,
As the firelight dances on the windows below.
Logs crackle and spark with a comforting sound,
While the scent of the balsam fir fills all around.

Outside, the air bites, thirty-five below,
But by the hearth, the light does give a glow.
Stockings are hung by the chimney with care,
And hot cocoa's steaming, a treat beyond compare.

[verse 2]
The frozen lake gleams like a mirror of glass,
Where the snow-draped evergreens silently pass.
No hustle, no bustle, no city street's glare,
Just peace and pure magic in the still, frosty air.

Then a jingle is heard, through the dark, silent night,
A rustic sleigh, and white tail deer in flight.
St. Nick flies above the deep woods, dark and deep,
While the good folks of the mountains are all fast asleep.

[verse 3]
He lands on the roof with a soft, snowy thud,
And descends with a bound, as he always would.
With a nod and a wink, his task quickly done,
He brings joy to all, in the bright morning sun.

As he flies out of sight, he exclaims with a cheer,
"Merry Christmas, to all, and a Happy New Year!"
For in this wild landscape, where the cold winds blow,
The spirit of Christmas finds a true, peaceful glow.

[chorus]
In the heart of the North, where the white peaks stand tall,
A blanket of snow has descended on all.
The Adirondacks slumber, wrapped in winter's deep hush,
Save for the wind whispering through a pine's snowy brush.
