ONE MORE CHRISTMAS WITH YOU [Intro – Soft Spoken] Sometimes Christmas brings laughter. Sometimes it brings tears. And sometimes... All you want is one more Christmas With somebody you love. [Verse 1] I put the Christmas decorations On the shelf beside the door, Found a picture of you smiling, Like you always did before. And I sat down at the table, With that photograph in view, Thinking how I'd give most anything For one more Christmas with you. [Chorus] One more Christmas with you, One more laugh across the room, One more story at the table, One more afternoon. One more Christmas with you, One more chance to hold you near, But I'll carry all your memories Through another Christmas year. [Verse 2] There's an empty chair at dinner, There's a silence in the hall, But the love you left behind you Still lives inside these walls. I remember all the little things, The way you used to smile, And I'd gladly walk beside you For another Christmas mile. [Chorus] One more Christmas with you, One more song we used to sing, One more morning filled with laughter, One more little thing. [Bridge – Blues Guitar] And I know the years keep turning, And I know life carries on, But Christmas feels so different When somebody you love is gone. So I'll light a little candle, And I'll whisper out a prayer, Thanking Yahweh for the moments And the love we got to share. [Verse 3] If I could send a Christmas letter Past the clouds and through the blue, I'd write, "I still remember, And I'm always loving you." And when the children gather, And the Christmas bells ring through, I'll tell them all the stories That remind me so much of you. [Final Chorus] One more Christmas with you, That's the wish I cannot buy, So I'll hold you in my memories As the seasons pass me by. One more Christmas with you, Though I know it cannot be, The love you gave while you were here Will always stay with me. [Outro – Whispered] Merry Christmas. I miss you. And I thank God I knew you.
