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 it seemed like so much

We watched it go round and round

As the melodies are unwound But all these things are now long gone

And not to be wished upon again But the music box continues to turn

Candle in the window continues to burn

But I know they're just memories

Christmas past call, you and me yea Remember that old fireplace

That held the room in warm embrace

As we watched for Christmas ghosts

Fire held the shadows close But now upon this Christmas scene

The candle wax of melted dreams

And ornaments of shattered glass

Now belonging to the past All these things, 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 call, you and me I miss you baby

Oh yes, I do

And it's been far too long girl

Since I last laid eyes on you 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 I got the lights upon the Christmas tree

(The candles burning)

I got the candle lit for you to see

(You know I'm gonna wait)

And beside this window I will wait

(The clock keeps turning)

For inside this night it's not too late

(But I know it's not, I know it's not too late) I've got the lights upon the Christmas tree

I've 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
