Music Box Blues

Remember last

Christmas eve

When we sat next to our first tree

Ornaments reflected light

Of a candle in the night

And I gave you a music box

Back then it seemed like so much

We watched it go round and round

As the melodies are unwound

But all these things are now long gone

And not to be wished upon again

But the music box continues to turn

Candle in the window continues to burn

But I know they're just memories

Christmas past call, you and me yea

Remember that old fireplace

That held the room in warm embrace

As we watched for

Christmas ghosts

Fire held the shadows close

But now upon this

Christmas scene

The candle wax of melted dreams

And ornaments of shattered glass

Now belonging to the past

All these things, now long gone

And not to be wished upon again

But the music box continues to turn

The candle in the window continues to burn

But I know they're just memories

Like Christmas past call, you and me

I miss you baby

Oh yes, I do

And it's been far too long girl

Since I last laid eyes on you

I got the lights upon the

Christmas tree

I got the candle lit for you to see

And beside this window

I will wait

For inside this night it's not too late

I got the lights upon the

Christmas tree(The candles burning)

I got the candle lit for you to see(You know I'm gonna wait)

And beside this window

I will wait(The clock keeps turning)

For inside this night it's not too late(But I know it's not, I know it's not too late)

I've got the lights upon the

Christmas tree

I've got the candle lit for you to see

And beside this window

I will wait

For inside this night

I know it's not too late
