The lights are shining, but I feel aloneAnother Christmas, still far from homeThe snow is falling, the world's aglowBut my heart's in a place I can't goI think of the laughter, the warmth of the fireThe songs we'd sing and the joy we'd desireBut this year, I'm here on my ownWith memories of home, where love has grownOh, Christmas, away from homeThe night's all cold, the sky's unknownI hold you in my heart, though we're apartYour love's the light that keeps me from the darkOh, Christmas, away from homeOh, Christmas, away from homeI'm counting the days till I can callUntil then, I'll send my loveAnd pray the stars shine bright aboveI see the children, their faces so brightSharing their joy on this silent nightThough I smile, I can't help but feelThe ache of distance, so hard to healI dream of your voice, I dream of your faceWishing I could be in your embraceBut for now, I'll hold on tightTo the love that keeps me from the darkIt keeps me warm tonightOh, Christmas, away from homeThe night's all cold, the sky's unknownI hold you in my heart, though we're apartYour love's the light that keeps me from the darkOh, Christmas, away from homeI'm counting the days till I can callUntil then I'll send my loveAnd pray the stars shine bright aboveThe world may be farBut love knows no spaceI carry warmth in this lonely placeAnd though we can't beTogether we'll findThe spirit of Christmas forever intertwinedOh, Christmas away from homeThe nights are cold, the skies are numbI hold you in my heart, blowing upon your love's delightAnd pray the stars shine bright aboveAnd kiss me from the dark
