She leaned her head on the window Watching evergreen bend in the snow Remembering Christmas the way it had been So many seasons ago When the children would reach for their stockings And open the presents they found The lights on the tree would shine bright in their eyes Reflecting the love all around.
But this year there’s no one to open the gifts No reason for trimming the tree And just as a tear made its way to the door She heard voices outside start to sing
Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here Merry Christmas if even just one May the joy of the season surround you Merry Christmas with love
The carolers sang as she opened the door Faces of friends in the crowd And all of the shadows of lonely reminders Were driven away by the sound Now the heart that for years had been silent Was suddenly filled with a song As she clung to their hands like a child in the night She found herself singing along
Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here Merry Christmas if even just one May the joy of the season surround you Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here Merry Christmas if even just one May the joy of the season surround you Merry Christmas with love
