Memories of Christmastime

River Road, Track 10 - 2:53
T Longbottom / G Pruden

For some people, Christmas can be the most painful time of the year.

Chorus
I see a lost and lonely man 
At a darkened empty door
And memories of Christmas time
Fill my heart once more
I see us through the window pane 
Our little family
I see three people wrapped in love
Around a Christmas tree

The snow falls down on field and town
So white and cold and silent
O Sarah dear I think of you
And all our life together

I meant the words I vowed to you
And when I said I love you
fifteen years and seven months
That was our forever

It was twenty years ago 
I broke apart our family
Not a day has passed since then
But I thought of you only

The ghosts of love still haunt me now
And fill my empty daydreams
You and me and Ann Marie
O Sarah I'm so lonely

I see us through the broken glass
And Lord it's killing me
These memories of happiness
Around a Christmas tree
