Got a card one Christmas Eve marked Cincinatti Made from bits and bobs and children's pretty things All it said was - we made this for you Daddy On an angel with cotton covered wings.
Well, its been a long time now since we parted You took the kids, we went our separate ways, But when snowflakes fall like cotton covered angels I wonder who plays Santa Claus these days
Got someone to hold when summer stars are twinkling And a golden place I go to in the fall, But this time of year, I always get to thinking I guess, I don't have really much at all
Coloured lights are shining all the way down Main Street I can see a Santa in a store Little ones with eyes all full of wonder And there's angels on that wind, in Baltimore
Yes it's been a long time now since we parted You took the kids, we went our separate ways, But when snowflakes fall like cotton covered angels I can't help wondering who: plays Santa Claus these days
In spring I write my songs and play some guitar You can hear me on the country radio But a song about a cotton covered angel Is the only one these days, I seem to know
Some guy is roasting chestnuts on a corner There's mistletoe above the bar room door In my hand a crumpled card marked Cincinatti And there's angels on the streets of Baltimore
I know it's been a long long time since we parted You took the kids, we went our separate ways But when snowflakes fall like cotton covered angels I wish, I could - play Santa Claus these days
