Christmas Eve In Washington - Maura Sullivan

Submitted by EmilyAnn

It's snowing tonight in the Blue Ridge
There's a hush over Chesapeake Bay
The chimneys are smoking in Georgetown
And tomorrow is Christmas Day

The Tidal Basin lies quiet
The tourists have found their way home
Mr. Jefferson's standing the mid-watch
And there's a star over Capitol Dome

CHORUS:

It's Christmas Eve in Washington
America's home town
It's here that freedom lives
And peace can stand her ground
It's Christmas Eve in Washington
Our joyous wish to you
Is for peace, love, and laughter
To last the whole year through

Snowmen peek in through the windows
It's warm with love inside
Round the tree the children gather
Awaiting Santa's midnight ride

Mom and Dad are counting their blessings
Reflecting on all they've done
So thankful for another
Christmas Eve in Washington

CHORUS
