Merry Christmas the stars are all out
On this, the great day of His birth
There is peace all around
Yet you’ll still hear the sound
Of an empty heart here on this earth
Days are passing with or without you
I can’t help what I feel with you gone
My love lingers on
Like the notes in a song
In A minor, so soft and prolonged
I put up the bright decorations
String the lights, sing the songs of the day
Yet the tree stands alone
In its glitter and glow
For now you are gone far away
There is faith dwelling here deep inside me
And somehow I still feel you are near
Pretty ribbons, papers, bows
Can’t replace you, heaven knows
But they soothe me as I think when you were here
I crown the angel on the tree, I bless it
It represents some credence for mankind
It is in my heart I pray
That a ray of hope will stay
Forever in my soul and in my mind
