(Verse 1) Every year when the lights return, We gather ‘round, the fire burns, Old guitar and stories flow, Faces shining in the glow. (Pre-Chorus) We bring the things we’re letting go, The broken dreams, the fears we’ve known, One by one, they catch the flame, And drift away without a name. (Chorus) We throw the past into the firelight, Watch it fade into the night, Laughing, singing, hearts set free, That’s how Christmas is meant to be. Another year, another flame, We’re never quite the same, But love remains — our old tradition, Our fireside remission. (Verse 2) Papers curl and ashes rise, Reflections dance in misty eyes, We speak of all we’ve learned this year, The pain, the joy, the friends still near. (Pre-Chorus) The sparks they fly, the shadows sway, The weight we carried melts away, And in that warmth, we’re born anew, The fire burns for me and you. (Chorus) We throw the past into the firelight, Watch it fade into the night, Laughing, singing, hearts set free, That’s how Christmas is meant to be. Another year, another flame, We’re never quite the same, But love remains — our old tradition, Our fireside remission. (Bridge) The world keeps turning, seasons flow, But this small circle’s all we know, Each spark reminds us, clear and true, That what we lose, we pass right through. (Final Chorus) We throw the past into the firelight, Watch it fade into the night, Here together, souls alight, Our hearts are home tonight. Another year, another flame, We whisper every name, And love remains — our true tradition, Our fireside Christmas remission.
