A Widow's Christmas

Christmas snow is falling
Christmas bells are ringing
I can’t believe you’re gone
I close the door behind me
To better hear
The echo of your voice
It’s Christmas time
I can’t believe you’re gone

Clinging to the memory of you
You fill my silences
I close my eyes
To feel you near
It’s Christmas time
I feel you here
Deep inside my heart
