Lyrics
THE CHRISTMAS DOOR
Just a cup of coffee and a quiet place to rest
I fumbled through some letters, yours wasn’t to be found
I remembered times forgotten where nostalgic feelings flowed
Now I’m holding onto memories I just can’t seem to let go
One more lonely Christmas, empty stockings by the fire
It’s just not the same without you, faded colors blur my eyes
These aren’t the days I cherish at this time of the year
‘Cause you’re not here beside me
Bringing home that Christmas cheer
CH 1
Christmas comes but once a year, I’m glad it isn’t more
Seasons change but the pain remains
Gotta close that Christmas door
I woke up early to the sound of knocking on my door
Threw on a robe and slippers that were lying on the floor
I stumbled down a darkened hall, switched on a light to see
You were standing in the doorway
Thought it must have been a dream
I stood there dazed and speechless
As you slowly took my hand
We wept and as the tears flowed, I felt our wedding band
The colors that were muted suddenly were crystal clear
All the world about was changing
As we dried each others tears
Ch. 2
It’s Christmas in my heart all year
How could I ask for more
Every season brings us closer now
I’ve opened up that Christmas door
Please come in that Christmas door
