A Christmas Carol
If only
If only I could
Walk back in time
Jesus alive on the cross
I cried at this great loss
As church bells are ringing
Sat In the last pew singing
Just a child you see
Safe and sound
In a home with joyous Christmas sounds
Santa always close
Christmas my happiness ghost
Tidings and cheer
Family surrounded me
Took away all my fears
Aunts and uncles so boisterous
Plum pudding and hard sauce with Irish Cream
Their laughter invades my midnight dreams
Us children in awe and anticipation
Christmas a miracle lighted with elation
Looking out frosted windows
Snowmen begging to be born
A time I miss, feeling so forlorn
Dancing with ghosts of the past
How could a child ever know
This happiness never lasts
