Christmas Eve in Washington

A sappy song about "America's Hometown" and the city in my new backyard.

It's snowing tonight in the Blue Ridge / There's a hush on the Ches'peake 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 on the Capitol Dome

It's Christmas Eve in Washington / America's hometown / For 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 peeking 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
