Merry Christmas Wherever You Are Lyrics - 1999

[ Buy Merry Christmas Wherever You Are ]

(Mike Geiger/Woody Mullis/Ricky Ray Rector)

"Leon Dixon leaves his Christmas lights up all year ‘round
It’s somethin’ different about our town
We’ve often wondered why he never takes ‘em down
But Leon leaves his Christmas lights up all year ‘round
There’s a big bright noel flashin’ off and on
In the yard where the children play the whole year long
We’ve all gotten used to it year by year
Now it’s kinda gotten to be a part of things ‘round here

Peace on earth, Good will to men
Christmas time is here again
Can it be all that wrong
To feel like Christmas all year long

Leon got sick, it’s been back awhile
Short on luck and money, but he still wore that smile
And nobody could stand to see him do without
So we all drove over to see if we could help out
Yeah, the noel flashed on and the bills stayed paid
I felt so warm as we drove away
I had never seen Christmas spelled so clear
As when I saw "LEON" flashin’ in my rear view mirror

Peace on earth, Good will to men
Christmas time is here again
Can it be all that wrong
To feel like Christmas all year long

Noel Leon
