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 that seemed like so much   We watched it go round and round   As the melodies unwound     But all these things are 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 and you and me     Remember that old fireplace   That held the room in warm embrace   And as we watched for Christmas ghosts   The fire held the shadows close     But now upon that Christmas scene   The candle wax of melted dreams   And ornaments of shattered glass   Now belonging to the past     But all these things are 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 and you and me     I miss you baby   Oh yes, I do   And it's been far too long   Since I last laid eyes on you     [1.]   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     [add the solo stanza after the second time]     [2.]   I got the lights   Up on the tree   They're shining bright   If you'd just believe   Just believe with me     The candles burning   You know I'm gonna wait   The clock keeps turning   But I know it's not   I know it's not too late...     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   I know it's not too late
