Christmas Lights
It's that time of the year again
Aunty Bernie's got the place up and glowing
And everyone would come together for some celebrating
Everything's so brand and new in the living room
Like that Christmas tree that took up the corner
That used to be the rocking chair you would settle down into
All I hear from Mom are only just the stories
About all the years you lived your life with full of glory
I only wish you could be with us for eternity
So that we could pick the Christmas lights
And see them flicker from green to red and white
The presents under the tree, watch you open mine
Because I'd get what you like
Like we did back when I was five
Twenty years it has been since last we talked
I was still just a kid that only played a lot
Oh had I only known the plans the Lord had in store
I would sit with you and talk about the things you adore
So that right now I have my reasons to remember you for
And not regretting that I didn't get to know you more
All I hear from Mom are only just the stories
About all the years you lived your life with full of glory
I only wish you could be with us for eternity
So that we could pick the Christmas lights
And see them flicker from green to red and white
The presents under the tree, watch you open mine
Because I'd get what you like
Now you're no longer here every time
I force a smile while I'm just crying deep inside
Hoping that you're doing fine on the other side
Because the lights don't shine as bright like when I was five
Although you're gone, you always had a place in our hearts
We'll carry on until the time tells our part
But now we wish you could be with us and not be apart
So that we could pick the Christmas lights
And see them flicker from green to red and white
The presents under the tree, watch you open mine
Because I'd get what you like
Now you're no longer here everytime
I force a smile while I'm just crying deep inside
Hoping that you're doing fine on the other side
Because the lights don't shine as bright like when I was five
The Christmas lights don't shine as bright like when I was five
Aunty Bernie's got the place up and glowing
And everyone would come together for some celebrating
Everything's so brand and new in the living room
Like that Christmas tree that took up the corner
That used to be the rocking chair you would settle down into
All I hear from Mom are only just the stories
About all the years you lived your life with full of glory
I only wish you could be with us for eternity
So that we could pick the Christmas lights
And see them flicker from green to red and white
The presents under the tree, watch you open mine
Because I'd get what you like
Like we did back when I was five
Twenty years it has been since last we talked
I was still just a kid that only played a lot
Oh had I only known the plans the Lord had in store
I would sit with you and talk about the things you adore
So that right now I have my reasons to remember you for
And not regretting that I didn't get to know you more
All I hear from Mom are only just the stories
About all the years you lived your life with full of glory
I only wish you could be with us for eternity
So that we could pick the Christmas lights
And see them flicker from green to red and white
The presents under the tree, watch you open mine
Because I'd get what you like
Now you're no longer here every time
I force a smile while I'm just crying deep inside
Hoping that you're doing fine on the other side
Because the lights don't shine as bright like when I was five
Although you're gone, you always had a place in our hearts
We'll carry on until the time tells our part
But now we wish you could be with us and not be apart
So that we could pick the Christmas lights
And see them flicker from green to red and white
The presents under the tree, watch you open mine
Because I'd get what you like
Now you're no longer here everytime
I force a smile while I'm just crying deep inside
Hoping that you're doing fine on the other side
Because the lights don't shine as bright like when I was five
The Christmas lights don't shine as bright like when I was five
