A song about the loss of a parent at Christmas time.

Lyrics written by me:

(Verse 1)
The lights are glowing on the tree,
But they don’t shine as bright to me.
The stockings hang, the fire's warm,
Yet here I sit, lost in the storm.

I hear the carols, the joyful cheer,
But all I want is to have you here.
I close my eyes, your face appears,
A wish I’ve whispered through the years.

(Chorus)
This Christmas night, I’ll hold you near,
In every star, I’ll feel you here.
Though you're gone, your love’s my light,
Guiding me through this Christmas night.

(Verse 2)
The world is wrapped in red and green,
But memories lie in between.
Your voice, it lingers in the air,
A gentle song, a whispered prayer.

I’ve hung an angel on the tree,
It’s just a piece of you with me.
The snow falls soft, the world turns white,
But nothing fills this empty night.

(Chorus)
This Christmas night, I’ll hold you near,
In every star, I’ll feel you here.
Though you're gone, your love’s my light,
Guiding me through this Christmas night.

(Bridge)
I know you’d tell me, "Don’t feel sad,
Remember the love and the times we had."
So I’ll unwrap my heart, let the memories play,
And find the joy you’d want today.

(Chorus)
This Christmas night, I’ll hold you near,
In every star, I’ll feel you here.
Though you're gone, your love’s my light,
Guiding me through this Christmas night.

(Outro)
So here I sit, beneath the tree,
A little child, your memory.
And as the bells ring through the skies,
I feel your smile in my goodbyes.
