She leaned with her head on the window

Watching evergreen bend in the snow

Remembering Christmas the way it had been

So many seasons ago.



When 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.



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 floor

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.



Carolers sang as she opened the door

Faces of friends in the crowd

And all of the shadows of lonely reminders

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 her self 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
