Lyrics
December hasn’t changed
This town looks the same
They still light that tree in the city square
There’s red, white, and green shining everywhere
And I wish you were here
And I wonder
Is the snow falling down on the streets of gold
Are the mansions all covered in white
Are you singing with angels silent night
I wonder, what Christmas in Heaven is like
There’s a little manger scene
Down on Third and Main
I must’ve walked right by it a thousand times
But I see it now in a different light
‘Cause I know you are there
And I wonder
Are you kneeling with shepherds before Him now
Can you reach out and touch his face
Are you part of that glorious holy night
I wonder
What Christmas in Heaven is like
Is the snow falling down on the streets of gold
Are the mansions all covered in white
Are you singing with angels silent night
Oh I wonder
What Christmas in Heaven is like
