A lyrical and warm secular carol for the holidays.
For high school or community chorus.
Peace at Home Tonight by Dave Froman
When the plains are filled with snow
Under the moonlight’s amber glow
And the fire burning bright
There is peace at home tonight.
Curled up with a book and blanket
Tales of love and mystery.
Cookies baking in the oven
Melted chocolate melody.
Empty glasses rest on the table
Laughter fills the air
Friends and family talking/telling stories
Memories to share.
Kittens play in the corner
Jumping and skittering
Children laughing, come inside
Marshmallows melt in mugs of cocoa.
When the town is filled with snow
Under the streetlight’s amber glow
Neighbors walking their dogs along the sidewalk
Stop to say hello.
Tho’ tonight I’m far away
I remember home at the holidays
Mem’ries warm and safe and bright
Peace upon this winter’s night.
In the hush of winter white
There is peace at home tonight.
