Old Fashioned Christmas Parade
We gather on the streets
Lining up in the cold
Waiting just to see them
Remembering days of old
The harnesses made of leather
Their bells are colored gold
Horses pull their carriages
And prance into our souls
Here come the Christmas carolers
But Santa steals the show
As the children gather candy
Look how their little eyes glow
Our hearts filled with Spirit
We enjoy each rendition
The Old Fashioned Christmas Parade
A Lawrence, Kansas tradition
