[Intro - A Cappella Prelude] Christmas lights upon the wall Names remembered, one and all Stockings hanging, candles glow Faces from so long ago Though the years have rolled away We still feel them here today And one small tuxedo queen... Meowtastic, dramatic, stealing every show Dancing through December snow [Ballad] Another Christmas Eve has come around The ornaments still shimmer gold The laughter echoes through these rooms Like stories waiting to be told I see the photographs we saved The ones that never fade away The ones who filled these winter nights Still guide us through this holiday And though some chairs sit empty now They're never truly gone somehow [Chorus] Oh Christmas cheer is more than songs we sing More than ribbons, bells, and everything It's every memory wrapped beneath the tree Every soul who made us family And when the snow falls silently tonight I swear I see them dancing in the light Love remains though years may come and go That's the Christmas truth we know [Operatic Section] [Vocal: Operatic Tenor] Mama mia, do you see her there? [Vocal Choir] Where? Where? [Vocal: Operatic Tenor] By the fireplace chair! [Vocal Choir] By the fireplace chair! [Vocal: Operatic Soprano] Such a sassy little tuxedo cat! [Vocal Choir] Meowtastic! Fancy that! [Vocal: Operatic Tenor] Did she not rule every room? [Vocal Choir] Every room! [Vocal: Operatic Soprano] Did she not chase away the gloom? [Vocal Choir] Chase the gloom! [Vocal Quartet] Pouncing through the wrapping paper Guardian of Christmas cheer [Vocal Choir] Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow! [Vocal: Operatic Lead] Though her paws no longer touch the floor [Vocal Choir] Touch the floor! [Vocal: Operatic Lead] She's still family forevermore! [Vocal Choir] Forevermore! [Vocal Ensemble] Christmas spirits gather near Every heart we hold still here Every voice from years before Knocking softly at the door [Hard Rock / Heavy Metal Section] No, they're not gone Not while we're carrying on Not while we're singing their names tonight The fire keeps burning The whole world keeps turning But love never fades from sight Hey! Raise up a glass to the ones we miss Hey! Raise up a cheer and remember this Every memory rocks the hall! Every voice still answers the call! Every shadow shines somehow! They're right beside us now! And that tuxedo kitty still owns the scene The sassiest Christmas queen we've seen Leaping through our hearts unseen Forever part of the holiday dream [Outro] The tree grows dim The night grows still Yet somehow every room feels filled With every hug With every smile With every memory all the while So if a little whisker stirs the air Or you feel a presence standing there Don't be sad, don't say goodbye Love never leaves Love never dies For Christmas cheer is more than what we see It's every soul who made us family And somewhere beyond the candlelight glow A meowtastic tuxedo kitty steals one more show Merry Christmas, those we miss You're forever part of this Forever part of this... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Family forever... Family forever...
