The night is dark and still on the canal
Tied up on Christmas Eve
Such a boost to my morale
To stop, think and believe
Stars twinkle above and below
Their reflections on the canal a wonder
God, please let it snow
While I sit and ponder
Christmas on a canal is quiet and calm
Such an escape from demands
Feeling I hold the world in my palm
and waiting for my friends
A small group on the boat
Should we be still and stay
or maybe a little float
A wonderful way to spend Christmas Day.
