George Strait - When It's Christmas Time in Texas Lyrics

(Benny McArthur)

When it's Christmas time in Texas
It's a very special time for me in Texas
We'll be swingin' 'round the Christmas tree
Dancin' to a Christmas melody
When it's Christmas time in Texas
It might look just like a summer day
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me.

Chorus:
When Santa Claus slips over the border
It'll sound a little different when he sings
He'll hear those twin fiddle's playin'
Christmas songs with a touch of western swing
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me.

--- Instrumental ---

When it's Christmas time in Texas
I love to hear those Christmas carolers sing
People on the go children's faces all aglow
Wondrin' what Santas going to bring
Grandpa's been chasin' grandma around
Tryin' to catch her 'neath the mistletoe
Everything is right the lone star's shinin' bright
But it's a Texas Christmas to me.

Chorus:
When Santa Claus crosses over the border
It'll sound a little different when he sings
He'll hear those twin fiddle's playin'
Christmas songs with a touch of western swing
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me.

And here's wishin' you all a merry Christmas
Merry Christmas from Texas and me...
