Track3: Love Across the Miles

(Intro: Spoken, Tender): A thousand miles, but close at heart. (Verse 1) The chairs are pulled up close, the table set for ten, But a vacant space reminds us that you're not here again. Though miles may keep our bodies from the warmth of Christmas bright, You are held within our thoughts and shine within our light. (Chorus) Though we can't share this fireplace or see your smiling face, We send our love across the miles to fill that empty space. A video call, a prayer, a song, we promise we will keep, Our connection strong this Christmas while the world is fast asleep... (Verse 2) We pour an extra cup of cheer, we lift a glass for you, We tell the silly stories that only family knew. The memories we cherish are the threads that hold us near, And though you're far away, your spirit is right here... (Bridge) We know the day will come when every chair is full, Until that moment finds us, our love remains the rule. No ocean deep or mountain high can ever stop the cheer, We hold you in our hearts, until you can be near. (Outro) The gift is the blessing...
