Between Christmas and Thanksgiving

 

Between ThanksGiving and Christmas

Is like the Goodyear Blimp headed

From Akron, OH to the Three Rivers

For Sunday Pittsburgh Steeler games

 

It's certainly a tradition in our culture

And we await them just the same as

If a pilot or Santa navigating the way

Or a spectating fan way down below

 

Whether one season you're way up -

Or with your feet firmly on the ground

Isn't it great to be alive and participate

Having people care enough to see you

 

Seeing you up in sky blue sky above

Or watching you way way down below

Standing next to you by the three rivers

Or sitting at home with family in a room

 

Between ThanksGiving and Christmas

All I can feel is some magic in the air

Between ThanksGiving and Christmas

I hope we all take time to see and care
