Lyrics
Melancholy Christmas Song
© Lyric by Claire Coburn; Music by Stan Loh December 5, 2011
Verse 1
So many memories,
Are coming back to me,
Of the days so long ago,
Verse 2
Swinging on Grandma's swing,
We talked of marrying,
Foolish talk about the gals,
And pinching cookies that grandma sells
Chorus
Oh on Christmas eve,
We gathered round her piano,
Singing carols we all know,
As we sing in harmony,
Close by stood old Christmas tree …
Instrumental
Oh Holy Night, the star is bright tonight …
Verse 3
I miss those yesteryears,
With you my darling dear,
But like they say life must go on,
Verse 4
On this cold Christmas Day,
I hear the children play,
Oh my heart just skipped a beat,
My memory’s bitter sweet …
Chorus
Cause on Christmas Day,
We gather round your piano,
Singing carols we all know,
As we sing in harmony,
The evening turns melancholy …
Oh Holy Night, the star is bright tonight …
Outro
I’m thinking of you dear …
My best friend … my best friend …
Oh Holy Night, the stars are bright tonight …
