About This:
STORY BEHIND THE SONG: In the lovely country town of Wauseon, Ohio, a giant, lighted Star is hoisted atop South Park each Christmas, as has been done every December for the better part of the last century. Generation after generation, the Wauseon Star has served as the focal point of the town's Christmas festivities and never ceases to bring cheer to the hearts of both young and old. This is my tribute to the Star and a town unique in its steadfast traditions and sincere appreciation for the simplest joys of Christmas time.

(Verse 1)
Fulton Street is lined with lights
But none of them shines so bright
As the one on the south end of the street
People come from all around
Led by the star that lights the town
To the place where hope and memories meet.

(Chorus)
Bringing in the joy of Christmas
Lighting up the town so bright and clear
If I live to be one hundred
I'll still hold the memories of it dear
And though time passes on
No matter how far I roam
There's a bright and shining star
That leads me home.

(Verse 2)
Each Christmas day I hit the road
Heading south through driving snow
Can't let the miles keep us apart
Back in the city, I leave my cares
A quiet peace awaits me there
In that little town you'll take to heart.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
As we ponder the mystery of heritage and history
I've found, through every Christmas snow
No matter where I go, there's one thing that I know ...

(Repeat Chorus and tag)
