G#
remember last christmas eve
Dm
when we sat next to our first tree
Gm
ornaments reflected light
D#
of a candle in the night
G#
and i gave you a music box
Dm
back then that seemed like so much
Gm
we watched it go round and round
D#
as the melodies unwound
G#
but all these things are now long gone
D# F G#
and not to be wished upon again
D# Dm Cm G#
but the music box continues to turn
D# Dm Cm G#
the candle in the window continues to burn
D# Dm Cm G#
but i know they’re just memories
D# Dm Cm G# F
like christmas past and you and me
G#
remember that old fireplace
Dm
that held the room in warm embrace
Gm
and as we watched for christmas ghosts
D#
the fire held the shadows close
G#
but now upon that christmas scene
Dm
the candle wax of melted dreams
Gm
and ornaments of shattered glass
D#
now belonging to the past
G#
but all these things are now long gone
D# F G#
and not to be wished upon again
D# Dm Cm G#
but the music box continues to turn
D# Dm Cm G#
the candle in the window continues to burn
D# Dm Cm G#
but i know they’re just memories
D# Dm Cm G#
like christmas past and you and me
Dm
i miss you baby , oh yes , i do
Gm
and it’s been far too long
D#
since i last laid eyes on you
