Christmas Lights

C Am F G C It's that time of the year again Am Aunty Bernie's got the place up and glowing F G And everyone would come together for some celebrating C Everything's so brand and new in the living room Am Like that Christmas tree that took up the corner F G That used to be the rocking chair you would settle down into C Am All I hear from Mom are only just the stories F About all the years you lived your life with full of glory G I only wish you could be with us for eternity C So that we could pick the Christmas lights Am And see them flicker from green to red and white F The presents under the tree, watch you open mine G Because I'd get what you like C Like we did back when I was five C Twenty years it has been since last we talked Am I was still just a kid that only played a lot F G Oh had I only known the plans the Lord had in store C I would sit with you and talk about the things you adore Am So that right now I have my reasons to remember you for F G And not regretting that I didn't get to know you more C Am All I hear from Mom are only just the stories F About all the years you lived your life with full of glory G I only wish you could be with us for eternity C So that we could pick the Christmas lights Am And see them flicker from green to red and white F The presents under the tree, watch you open mine G Because I'd get what you like C Now you're no longer here every time Am I force a smile while I'm just crying deep inside F Hoping that you're doing fine on the other side G C Am F G Because the lights don't shine as bright like when I was five C Am Although you're gone, you always had a place in our hearts F We'll carry on until the time tells our part G But now we wish you could be with us and not be apart C So that we could pick the Christmas lights Am And see them flicker from green to red and white F The presents under the tree, watch you open mine G Because I'd get what you like C Now you're no longer here everytime Am I force a smile while I'm just crying deep inside F Hoping that you're doing fine on the other side G C Am F G Because the lights don't shine as bright like when I was five C The Christmas lights don't shine as bright like when I was five
