Remember last |
|
Christmas |
|
EveWhen 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 musical 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 ghost |
|
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 musical 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 |
