Love Song For The Lonely

It’s a starry night
And as I look up at the stars
I imagine another universe
Different from my own
Cause there’re so many lives
So many last names
It would do me good once and a while
To think of another person’s pain
Or happiness
We may not all be together
But we all know the feeling
Of sunny or stormy weather
The holidays maybe spent alone
So I’ll look up in the sky
And wish upon a star
That no matter how far away
You’re loved just where you are

Christmas Time Consoles
02:27

Looking out the window
I see the snow falling
It’s the time of the year
The child in me’s calling
It’s hard for me to express
Just how much I missed this
Will I ever outgrow
The wonder of Christmas?
To believe in the sudden shift
And that life is all a gift
To follow the guiding star
To open up our hearts
Bring light into the dark
To bring close what had felt so far
In the winter of our soul
Christ comes to console
Though so many years have gone by
I still feel the magic
To do without this time
Would certainly be tragic
The world which so needs hope
Finds light in the giving
And for a moment in time
There’s true joy in the living
In the winter of our soul
Christmastime consoles

I wanna write a song
To put a smile on your face
So just take a moment
And imagine the place
You’d most like to be
Like the Yukon or Paris
With the people you love
Who show you they care, it’s
Nice to take a moment
To let your wonder take over
See your name up in lights
Or on that hardback book cover
See your kids get that job
Or your spouse a massage
Or that home recording studio
Set up in your garage
Imagine if you will
You could talk one more time
With the parent you’ve lost
Let them know you’re doing fine
See a mouth that is hungry
Get a satisfying meal
Or a war see its end
We all know how it feels
To go for a season
Without the warmth of a hug
But don’t be afraid
To let it on your heart tug
The things you desire
The things not yet here
The joy that is stolen
By sadness and fear
But I promise you’ll know
Happiness again
Because life is a gift
And we all find a friend
In the end

I think of all the time and money
You spent to make us happy
A parent’s doing something right
If their children are smiling and laughing
You had an eye for Christmas style
I remember you liked it fancy
A twinkle on the tree
And in your eye
Through the season you’d be dancing
CHORUS
I wish that I had one more Christmas hug
One more cocoa in your decorated mug
But even though this Christmas you’re not here
I hold you in my heart
So you are near
You were happy most of all
that you’re children had a home
It meant so much to you that for a job
You helped other families own
A place where they could set up a Christmas tree
A minora, a quaran,
Just as long as they could be somewhere
Safe and secure with their loving fam
CHORUS
I wish that I had one more Christmas smile
And although you’ve been gone for a while
The remembrance still warms my heart
So that we are not apart

Jolly, Not Folly
01:44
|
|||
|
It’s the simple pleasures
To offset the weather
Like a fire in the hearth
All the Christmas lights
Decorations to excite
When it gets so early dark
CHORUS:
Because it’s not the presents
But what it represents
That makes the season so jolly
To try to bring warmth
The cold world to transform
Is the opposite of folly
Mocha in a cup
Maybe cinnamon drops
The flavors that remind us
That we are worth
The son of God’s birth
That he took the effort to find us
CHORUS
Though it’s become so commercial
We can still remember we’re special
Take joy in the little things
If it’s not trees or bells
The stories carols tell
May you still find the magic
The season brings
CHORUS

Just the wind
Whistling through the trees
A moment of calm
Spent on your knees
The stars, so bright,
Don’t make any sound
After all the celebration
The turbulence
And the elation
When there’s finally
No-one else around
Silent night, holy night
Some time alone
It’ll be alright
Hear the Spirit whisper
You’re loved just as you are
Silent night, holy night
Don’t resist, put up a fight
Just take moment
To realize you’ve come so far
And you are loved perfectly
Just the way you are
