Notes
Alone I walk upon the snow the tracks of one in this cold pale dawn. I see the trees in the window panes with tinsel, lights and ornaments. As I pull my coat around me tight and think of others on this night. The ones I've lost, the ones I've found, as I walk this lonely cold snow filled town. As I walk the streets at night and look at all the wonderful sights, what do I hear, what do I see but two chocolate eyes staring up at me. What's this then you poor little thing, no home, no love, just this dark and cold alleyway. I was once like you, no love, no home, just the thought of being on my own, but a hand was held out to me hard worn and rough from work it would seem, oh but the softness when they hold me tight. So come my little friend, come with me and I'll take you home with me as I gently lay you under our tree with tinsel shining bright with all the colored lights nestled in the packages bright and in the morning when he wakes to see his eyes sparkle bright in that loving light. When work rough hands hold us tight in the morning light and on this day of happiness and cheer we will both know our place is always here, in his arms and in his house, love will grow all through the year. As I walk this lonely snow filled town and as I'm looking down at the tracks I see not just me but the both of us as it should be. One becomes two and two becomes three. Well here we are your new home and all the warmth and love you could ever need on this day with the sun just raising the sleepy smile and the sweet surprise that I see growing in his eyes as two pair of chocolate eyes meet and on this day our family is complete.
