Remember last Christmas Eve
|
When we sat next to our first tree
|
Ornaments reflected light
|
Of a candle in the night
|
|
And I gave you a music box
|
Back then that seemed like so much
|
We watched it go round and round
|
As the melodies unwound
|
|
But all these things are now long gone
|
And not to be wished upon again
|
|
But the music box continues to turn
|
The candle in the window continues to burn
|
But I know they're just memories
|
Like Christmas past and you and me
|
|
Remember that old fireplace
|
That held the room in warm embrace
|
And as we watched for Christmas ghosts
|
The fire held the shadows close
|
|
But now upon that Christmas scene
|
The candle wax of melted dreams
|
And ornaments of shattered glass
|
Now belonging to the past
|
|
But all these things are now long gone
|
And not to be wished upon again
|
|
But the music box continues to turn
|
The candle in the window continues to burn
|
But I know they're just memories
|
Like Christmas past and you and me
|
|
I miss you baby
|
Oh yes, I do
|
And it's been far too long
|
Since I last laid eyes on you
|
|
[1.]
|
I got the lights upon the Christmas tree
|
I got the candle lit for you to see
|
And beside this window I will wait
|
For inside this night it's not too late
|
|
[add the solo stanza after the second time]
|
|
[2.]
|
I got the lights
|
Up on the tree
|
They're shining bright
|
If you'd just believe
|
Just believe with me
|
|
The candles burning
|
You know I'm gonna wait
|
The clock keeps turning
|
But I know it's not
|
I know it's not too late...
|
|
I got the lights upon the Christmas tree
|
I got the candle lit for you to see
|
And beside this window I will wait
|
For inside this night
|
I know it's not too late
|
