Christmas Reunion

You know a lot of homes have Christmas reunions every year
It's a time that we all look forward to kind of gathering around with our friends and loved ones
Maybe in some homes this year, a dear face may be missing around the circle
And if this be the case, our hearts go out to you
Maybe this song will be an inspiration to you
Maybe this song will cause you to stop and think

What a wonderful thing it is to have a Christmas reunion when all the faces are present
A congregation of friends and family is always a wonderful thought around Christmas
Because it usually brings loved ones together
And in thousands of homes, we look forward to a Christmas reunion

Our Christmas reunion, always in the past
Was something in our hearts so dear
A link in the chain will be missing this year
Our sorrow will be hard to bear

The family will gather at home as before
For that's what you'd want us to do
Our Christmas reunion, this year will be sad
Only God knows how much we'll miss you

Your place by the fireside will look so alone
With you not in your rocking chair
We'll miss the sweet smile and the touch of your hand
At our Christmas reunion this year

We'll pray for the courage to smile and pretend
That you're back with us again
Our Christmas reunion, we'll have as before
Your memory will never grow dim

The family will gather at home as before
For that's what you'd want us to do
Our Christmas reunion, this year will be sad
Only God knows how much we'll miss you
