The Winter WindsTry as I may and wish as I mightWishing won't bring you home tonightOh, that winter snow ain't half as coldAs this lonely heart of mineYou turn the radio onBut you don't want to hear songsAbout Christmas joy and cheerAnd decorating the treeWithout my sweet companyLeft you wrapped in tinsel and tearsAnd looking across this western skyI pray that you'll findThat winter snow ain't half as coldAs this guiding lightFor you to follow homeFrom wherever you roamOn this loathsome winter's nightStar of the east, oh, brightest starShine in the west tonightLighting the way for all to seeSent from heaven on highStar of the east, oh, brightest starShine in the west tonightBringing the gifts of faith and hope and loveTo all who are lost without your lightThe winter winds are blowing againAnd these hardwood floors feel so coldI've nearly worn them throughPacing the floor over youSeems I'm wishing against all hopeThen looking beyond my tear-stained heartThere on the tree, our first Christmas starMay you remember its lightOn this cold western nightAnd find peace wherever you areStar of the east, oh, brightest starShine in the west tonightLighting the way for all to seeSent from heaven on highStar of the east, oh, brightest starShine in the west tonightBringing the gifts of faith and hope and loveTo all who are lost without your lightI love you.
