Another Christmas Day
Another Christmas Day will soon be here again,
It used to be my favorite time of year.
Now it's not as much fun
Celebrating for one,
When the one I'd like to share it with's not here.
I sent out some Christmas cards and got a few,
And email greetings pour in every day.
It's so good to hear
From friends and loved ones far and near
And to read the cheerful things they have to say.
But over in the corner where a tree should be,
Now there just sits an empty rocking chair.
But when I close my eyes
I can still visualize
You sitting knitting socks no one could wear.
I'll listen to some carols on the radio,
Have some egg nog and a slice of warm mince pie.
Andy Williams, et al,
Help me fondly recall
The happy memories of Christmases gone by.
I made out a wish list like I do each year,
Jotted down a lot of things, then crossed them through.
There's no need to make a list,
For Santa knows that all I've wished for
Is to spend another Christmas Day with you.
