From the recording Christmas in Paris
Lyrics
Christmas is getting closer,
But my heart’s still stuck in place.
The lights don’t shine the same this year,
Not since you walked away.
I think about you daily,
Like some prayer I can’t undo…
And every night I whisper,
“God, why am I missing you?
Pre-Chorus
’Cause every snowfall, every carol,
Pulls me back to yesterday…
Chorus
And I think of you every day
Since the moment you said goodbye.
I pray at night asking God
Why you left, why I still cry.
Why I miss you so much,
Why your memory won’t fade…
And I wonder if someday
I’ll get to see you again.
Verse 2
People say time will heal me,
But mine froze the day you left.
I walk the halls in silence,
Feeling every empty step.
The songs on every corner
Cut deeper than they used to do…
And I keep asking heaven
If you ever miss me too.
Pre-Chorus
Every bright star in December
Feels like it knows my pain…
Chorus
’Cause I think of you every day
Since the moment you said goodbye.
I pray at night asking God
Why you left, why I still cry.
Why I miss you so much,
Why your memory won’t fade…
And I wonder if someday
I’ll get to see you again.
Bridge
Maybe Christmas has a miracle
Waiting somewhere in the light…
Maybe God will give me courage
To let go or hold on tight.
Final Chorus
Oh, I think of you every day
Since the moment you said goodbye.
I pray at night asking God
Why you left, why I still cry.
Why I miss you so much,
Why I keep dreaming your name…
And I wonder if someday
I’ll get to see you again—
On some Christmas night…
Or in heaven’s gentle flame.
