lyrics

Picture perfect memories of Christmases before
Faces that have always been, since I remember when
still hang on bedroom walls
The plans we made for yesteryear now echo in my mind
and all the hope we lost to fear just waits for us to find

This Christmastime
can we start again to see with eyes that shine?
even when we miss the things we left behind
can we find the words to say, that we’re thankful for the day?
for this Christmastime

Take another snapshot scene. It’s nothing like it was
Faces on a little screen, long the distance feels
when isolation calls
The doors are closed, and carol songs have turned into the blues
we watch the snow and carry on, as we wait to hear the news

This Christmastime
can we start again to see with eyes that shine?
even when we miss the things we left behind
can we find the words to say, that we’re thankful for the day?
for this Christmastime

I can’t hear no angels singing, in my ears the bells are ringing
and no one really knows if we’ll go back to better days
Still the love will always stay
yeh the love it always stays

This Christmastime
we can start again to see with eyes that shine
even when we miss the things we left behind
we can find the words to say, we are grateful for today
for this Christmastime.
