Green for the ivy that grows by the wall White for the mistletoe that hangs in the hall Red for the berries that shine in the snow Orange and yellow for morning's first grow These are the colors of Christmas Let them shine all over the earth These are the colors of happiness The joy of a new baby's birth Blue for the robe of his mother so mild Gold for the precious gifts they brought to the child Silver the starlight to shine through your sleep And a rainbow for all the sweet dreams you will keep These are the colors of Christmas Let them shine all over the earth These are the colors of happiness The joy of a new baby's birth Blue for the robe of his mother so mild Gold for the precious gifts they brought to the child Silver the starlight to shine through your sleep And a rainbow for all the sweet dreams you will keep
