lyrics

The Christmas Ghost

All the ornaments are hung
We put on records and sang along
We celebrated Christmas Eve
And now it's time to go to sleep

As I head up to my bed
Christmas dreams swirl in my head
Think I hear a noise outside
But it's not Santa on my mind

I'm waiting for your ghost
It's Christmas please come home
Every year I look
For Footprints in the snow
You standing at my door
Snowflakes in your hair
But there is no one there
Only cold, still air

I lay in bed wide awake
And think of long-gone Christmas Days
Soldiers, milk-maids, turtle doves
Feeling safe and loved

Gifts with ribbon wrapped up tight
Garlands, tinsel, sweet delights
I wish I may, I wish I might
Find your ghost this Christmas Night

I'm waiting for your ghost
So I can see your smile again
The twinkle in your eye
Beneath the Christmas Lights
Wishing for your ghost
Please, oh please come home
It's the only wish
On my Christmas list
