I think of loved ones who?ve passed away   And I pray they?re resting in a better place   I think of memories of years gone by   And sometimes Christmas makes me cry      I think of soldiers across the sea   Sometimes I wonder why it?s them instead of me   But for my freedom they give their lives   And sometimes Christmas makes me cry      Tears of faithfulness, tears of hope   I cry tears of joy at Christmas because I know   There is peace on earth for every heart to find   And sometimes Christmas makes me cry      I think of family, I think of home   And say a prayer for those who spend this time alone   ?Cause love can reach out into a silent night   And that?s why Christmas makes me cry      Tears of faithfulness, tears of hope   I cry tears of joy at Christmas because I know   There is peace on earth for every heart to find   And sometimes Christmas makes me cry      I think of Mary and the virgin birth   And I?m amazed by how much God thinks we are worth   That He would send His only Son to die   And sometimes Christmas makes me cry      Tears of faithfulness and tears of hope   I cry tears of joy at Christmas because I know   There is peace on earth for every heart to find   And sometimes Christmas makes me   Oh, sometimes Christmas makes me   Christmas makes me cry   Christmas makes me cry
