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
