Last Christmas

Last Christmas Day I sat down to weep, watched as snow fell burying the earth cold and deep, Last Christmas day I waited in vain, sitting alone while my tears fell like rain. My lover was fighting so far away, and could not come home to share Christmas Day, caught in a war I knew so little about, as I sat all alone with no cheers to shout. Christmas is coming yet again without you at home, now you lie buried so cold and alone, I still have my memories of good times gone by, Yet I keep asking God to tell me why. So Christmas for widows is a very sad day, it makes us recall how the war tore you away, standing beneath the bright twinkling lights, we all pray for peace and wish you all a goodnight.
