Thinking about the holiday
And the sands of time
Years passed like pages of old family
Photos in my mind
Faces and the places
How Decembers used to be
A little loneliness and longing
It rises up in me
Sometime every Christmas
Can't say where, or when, or why
But some moment or some memory
Takes me by surprise
And something in the season
Wells up in my eye
Sometime every Christmas, I cry
Might be some choir of children singing, "Silent Night"
Or driving through my hometown
Seeing main street dressed in lights
Maybe that old video
When I hear my granddad's prayer
Or in my mother's living room
With my father's empty chair
Sometime every Christmas
Can't say where, or when, or why
But some moment or some memory
Takes me by surprise
And something in the season
Wells up in my eye
Sometime every Christmas, I cry
ย
And I read Luke chapter two
How God came to pursue
A world in need
Someone like me
Sometime every Christmas
Can't say where, or when, or why
But some moment or some memory
And it takes me by surprise
And something in the season
Wells up in my eye
Sometime every Christmas
I cry
