Tennessee ChristmasAmy Grant

Songwriter: Gary Chapman Amy Grant

Producer: Brown Bannister

Come on weatherman
Give us a forecast snowy white
Can't you hear the prayers
Of every childlike heart tonight?
Rockies are calling
Denver snow falling
Somebody said it's four feet deep
But it doesn't matter
Give me the laughter;
I'm gonna choose to keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gift around our tree
Well I know there's more snow
Up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me

Every now and then
I got a wanderin' urge to see
Maybe California
Maybe tinsel town's for me
There's a parade there;
We'd have it made there;
Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve
Sure sounds exciting
Awfully inviting
Still I think I'll gonna keep

Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gift around our tree
Well they say in L.A.,
It's a warm holiday;
It's the only place to be
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me

(Ooooooh, yeah, yeah.)
(Ohh, you know I wanna be home.)
(Ooo-oooh.)

Well I know there's more snow
Up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me

A tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me

Amy Grant

By the time Amy Grant was nineteen, she was Contemporary Christian music’s most celebrated singer. Grant grew up in the Church of Christ where she sang for God two nights a week. As a teen, she decided to pursue a career in music, writing her first song while attending devotional meetings at her high school.

Grant recorded a demo while working as an intern at a recording studio and the owner was so impressed he signed her to his own label and released her first album Amy Grant in 1977. It spawned three top 10 songs on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart.

The following year, Grant began touring while balancing college studies. Her second album My Father’s Eyes was released in April 1979. At its record release party, she met future first husband gospel singer Gary Chapman. He’d written its title track, and it would become her first of many Christian Songs Chart-toppers. Her third album Never Alone came out in 1981 and features the #3 Christian Songs hit “Look What Has Happened To Me”.
