The Fireplace Glowed
I am lonely as the hills
On a cold Christmas eve
Can even feel the chills
Almost want to leave
I remember Christmas as child
And how the fireplace glowed
Sometimes the weather was mild
Then we would wish it had snowed
I can still smell the baking
My mother used to make
Think I will start making
What my mother used to bake
I start to make some cookies
And baking up some pies
I was not taught by rookies
Can make a good dough rise
I start setting up my tree
And putting on the lights
I really want to see
How it will look tonight
I will always know
Family will be here
And I will always show
My love is always near
To have a happy holiday
Keep your family close
And always try to find a way
To show they are your loves
To you all I say Merry Christmas
Will you have a very good night
Just get into the spirit of Christmas
It will be a very good sight
