Our Christmas List
Christmas cards are lined up cross the mantle
Not as many as in years before
Snow is falling outside
Picture perfect who could ask for more
A sadness hangs over this occasion
Bittersweet a sacred memory
Ghosts from Christmas past will pay a visit
Dropping by tonight to visit me
(Chorus)
Our Christmas list grows smaller every year
Time keeps marking off the names of cards we send
Still they live on in memories almost like they are here
Our Christmas list grows smaller every year
Once again we will light the Christmas tree
And tell ourselves Christmas is for kids
As old friends cross our mind
We remember all the things we did
A tear appears whenever I recall
Something we both shared in days gone by
A memory long ago forgotten
Christmas Eve, Oh what a silent night
(Chorus)
Our Christmas list grows smaller every year
Time keeps marking off the names of cards we send
Still they live on in memories almost like they are here
Our Christmas list grows smaller every year
(Inst)
(Bridge)
Yule log turns to embers
Christmas fades to history
Read a card from an old friend
Im still on his list you see
(Chorus)
Our Christmas list grows smaller every year
Time keeps marking off the names of cards we send
Still they live on in memories almost like they are here
Our Christmas list grows smaller every year
(TAG)
They still live on in memories almost like they are here
Our Christmas list grows smaller every year
