A christmas song

A Christmas Goodbye

There were nights, when the snow came down
I could stare out the window and see
Tomorrow would be such a wonderful day
And the hope that will wake up with me

When I think of the year that's gone by
All the time we spent for one day of the year
Why can't it last on through the days
When the snow is gone and I can't find the cheer

Chorus
So this looks like a christmas goodbye
As there were no sounds from the town, tonight
When the new year comes and we will forget
And we'll say it once more, a christmas goodbye

Some of us think of the friends that we have
And the family that comes together this time
And that chair that's at the table each year
Empty from someone we lost over time

The joy that we bring, in the hardest of times
And the sounds of laughter filled the air
Some days are better, as the years go by
But that one time of year that makes us care

Chorus
So this looks like a christmas goodbye
As there were no sounds from the town, tonight
When the new year comes and we will forget
And we'll say it once more, a christmas goodbye
