When the lights come on in December

[Verse 1] When the lights turn on in December nights I feel old memories rising with the lights I missed the sparkle that my mom once made Till I saw my daughter shine in the same way [Pre Chorus] And in her hands the season feels brand new A quiet reminder of what love can do [Chorus 1… Tree Farm Tradition] Cold wind rolling through the rows of green Hunting for the tree like we used to dream But the real gift comes when we all stand near Laughing and talking just to keep warm here In that moment I feel she lives on Show me the circle still carries on [Verse 2] She made one room feel like a full parade Every little moment felt carefully made Now my daughter lifts the whole house too Turning small moments into something true [Pre Chorus] Every kid laugh, every song they choose Feels like a thread my mom once used [Chorus 2… Baking and the Kitchen Glow] Flour on their hands and the room warm bright Passing old recipes through the night Cinnamon rising like a memory’s song My daughter teaching them just like my mom Each taste proves her spirit is strong Show me the circle still carries on [Bridge] Time keeps moving but her love stays near Wrapped in the rituals we share each year Surely, you’ll never forget the joy She taught us how to feel And in their faces I feel her again What she gave to me, I see in them [Chorus 3… Kids Under the Tree] Little ones gathered under the glowing tree Tearing through ribbons with wild energy Their laughter lifting the whole room high Bright as the stars in a winter sky In their joy I feel the past drawn Show me the circle still carries on
