Somewhere in, in the distant night
I hear Christmas bells
The gentle snow keeps falling down on people
Who are homeward bound
That’s the way it’s always been
The circle never really ends
Christmas seems to come and go
Home’s a place that I don’t know
Holly leaves and Christmas trees
It’s that time of year
Lights aglow and mistletoe
Don’t mean a thing when you’re not here
As I walk, walk this lonely street
The sound of snow beneath my feet
I’ll think of how it used to be
Holly leaves and Christmas trees
Used to mean so much to me

When you consider that this is not, strictly speaking, a ‘feel-good’ seasonal song, it’s amazing how much emotion the simple but descriptive lyrics, combined with Elvis’ masterful rendering can generate. Definitely one of my all-time favorites, too.

Thank you so very much Jackie for posting this. Yes, this is my favorite Elvis Christmas song. Elvis is the only person who I’ve ever heard sing it. It’s such a very highly under-rated gem. I love all of Elvis’ Christmas so very much. Merry Christmas to you too. Can you make a video with Elvis singing America The Beautiful? The recording no longer exists on youtube. Thanks again, 5 Stars.
