lyrics

There was a time when roads were made of crushed rock and earth,
And the only tracks through the whitest of snow were those of footprints,
And pawprints, and hoofprints,
And the long straight lines of the sleigh.
It was a time when the gifts of Christmas were made by loving hands,
And the holidays a holy time of giving and sharing.
Neighbors with more gave to neighbors with less,
And the hopes of Heaven and peace on Earth were shared by all.
Time has passed and much has changed,
But there is still a small corner of the earth where old values have not been lost,
Where neighbors still share with neighbors and children still believe
That to give is greater than to receive.

There’s still meaning in the magic of Christmas
In the state where the Christmas trees grow,
Where neighbors still drop by with cookies, breads, and pies
And warm themselves beside the kitchen stove.

It’s the spirit of sharing, giving, and caring,
Hanging wreaths upon your neighbor’s door.
That’s the spirit of Maine at Christmastime—
From her mountains to her great Atlantic shore.

You can find a farmer hitching up his horses
To the sleigh that the family’s had for years,
To give the children rides through
The snow-white countryside,
And the forests filled with timid whitetail deer.

It’s the spirit of sharing, giving, and caring,
Hanging wreaths upon your neighbor’s door.
That’s the spirit of Maine at Christmastime—
From her mountains to her great Atlantic shore.

Families still invite their friends and neighbors
In their search for the perfect Christmas tree,
Walking cross the frozen fields and rivers
Often times in snow above their knees.


It’s the spirit of sharing, giving, and caring,
Hanging wreaths upon your neighbor’s door.
That’s the spirit of Maine at Christmastime—
From her mountains to her great Atlantic shore.

That’s the spirit of Maine at Christmastime—
From her mountains to her great Atlantic shore.
