When I was just a little child,
With wonder in my eyes so wild,
The tree would sparkle, candles glow,
And gifts were piled in lines below.
Oh, Christmas time, so sweet, so bright,
A season wrapped in love and light.
Then years went by, a family grew,
With joyful hearts and laughter too.
Their eyes would glow with endless cheer,
A Christmas joy that felt so near.
Oh, Christmas time, so sweet, so bright,
A season wrapped in love and light.
And every year, the door would swing,
As Grandma, Grandpa came to bring
Their love, their joy, their stories true,
A Christmas bond that always grew.
Oh, Christmas time, so sweet, so bright,
A season wrapped in love and light.
This year the chairs are empty here,
Their voices gone, yet still so clear.
But in our hearts, their love remains,
Through us, through them, the spirit stays.
Now as we gather, hand in hand,
Their presence felt in all we've planned.
Through laughter shared and carols sung,
The light they gave will carry on.
Oh, Christmas time, so sweet, so bright,
A season wrapped in love and light.
We'll carry on, their dreams, their cheer,
Their spirit lives in all that's dear,
Their love remains, it leads the way,
In every smile on Christmas Day
