The Ghosts of Christmas

[Verse] Old Ebenezer sat alone Counting gold His heart a winter Bitter and cold The fire burned low The night stretched long No one to hear his moneyed song [Chorus] The ghosts of Christmas knocked on his door Whispered of love he'd lost before "Open your eyes See what you've done The past The present The days to come" [Verse 2] A girl in ribbons A laugh like spring The life he'd traded for a diamond ring And a feast he missed where the candles glowed His name unspoken His chair left cold [Prechorus] "Change your ways " they softly pled "Before your name is carved in dread" [Chorus] The ghosts of Christmas knocked on his door Whispered of love he'd lost before "Open your eyes See what you've done The past The present The days to come" [Bridge] The future loomed A shadow grave No love to give No soul to save But the morning broke with a golden hue And Ebenezer's heart began anew
