Christmas Night

Christmas tree with popcorn strings and red bows

Faucets drip because last night, they all froze

Just a kid and little did I know

That time would never move again so slow

Christmas tree with the lights burning low

We’re parents now with kids of our own

There’s a fire with a bright ember glow

The wind will sift our dreams as it blows

Oh, Christmas, you remind me every time

Everything that I could want is already mine

Oh, Christmas, cover me in your white light

For a moment all is still, I’m safe within your night

Christmas tree with decades seen by the star

Grown and gone, and I’m proud of who they are

Close my eyes, lay my head next to yours

Life’s a gift and gives us more than we deserve
