It ain't Christmas - Joe

Here on this night so silent

I pray to Heaven to bring you home

Snowflakes have turned to rain

Breath turns to frost on my window pane

Can you hear the children carol?

Singing songs of joy, but not for me

Pierce through my heart like an arrow

Holiday pictures of you and me…

Come trim the tree (oh, ohhh.)

We can light this night together

(hey…)

Just you and me

The way it used to be…

It ain’t Christmas, if I sit at home without you

(without you…)

It’s so hard to hear the herald angels sing

(oh, ohhh…)

It ain’t Christmas, if I sit at home without you

(I pray…)

I pray that you’ll be the gift the angels bring

(mmm…)

Guilt follows me like a shadow

If given the future, the past I’d change

Your gentle touch, it stays with me

The love you gave was so unique

The way you care

The love we share

Even now, I can see you standing there

I see the ghost of Christmas all around

(oh…)

Your smiling face and laughter’s happy sound

(oh girl…)

Come trim the tree

We can light this night together

Just you and me

The way it used to be

(ohh…)

No mistletoe, no midnight love, so crazy

Living here without you in my life

No eggnog toasts, no cuddles close by the fire

Without you I’ll always fail at joy

No sharing gifts, no snowbound trysts, so crazy

Living here without you in my life

No window shop, no end, no top by the fire

Without you I’ll always fail at joy

Just you and me

The way it used to be…

If I’m sittin' home

Yeah, yeah

(oh, ohooo…)

…fade to end…
