[Verse 1]
Come on, weatherman, give us a forecast snowy white
Can't you hear the prayers of every childlike heart tonight?
The Rockies are calling, Denver snow falling
Somebody said it's four feet deep
It doesn't matter, give me the laughter
I'm gonna choose to keep

[Chorus]
Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like our gifts around our tree
Well, I know there's more snow up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
That's the only Christmas for me

[Verse 2]
Every now and then I get a wanderin' urge to see
Maybe California
Maybe Tinseltown's for me
There's a parade there, we'd have it made there
Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve
Sure sounds exciting, awfully inviting
Still I think I'm gonna keep
[Chorus]
Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree
Well, they say in L.A., it's a warm holiday
It's the only place to be
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
That's the only Christmas for me

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Well I know there's more snow up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me
A tender Tennessee Christmas
That's the only Christmas for me

[Outro]
A tender Tennessee Christmas
That's the only Christmas for me
