Ab5
Remember last Christmas Eve 
D5
When we sat next to our first tree 
G5
Ornaments reflected light 
Eb5
Of a candle in the night 

Ab5
And I gave you a music box 
D5
Back then that seemed like so much 
G5
We watched it go round and round 
Eb5
As the melodies unwound 

Ab5
But all these things are now long gone 
Eb5                  F5                   Ab5
And not to be wished upon again 

            Eb5       D5       C5       Ab5
But the music box continues to turn 
            Eb5       D5       C5       Ab5
The candle in the window continues to burn 
            Eb5       D5       C5       Ab5
But I know they're just memories 
            Eb5       D5       C5       Ab5       F5
Like Christmas past and you and me 

Ab5
Remember that old fireplace 
D5
That held the room in warm embrace 
G5
And as we watched for Christmas ghosts 
Eb5
The fire held the shadows close 




Ab5
But now upon that Christmas scene 
D5
The candle wax of melted dreams 

G5
And ornaments of shattered glass 
Eb5
Now belonging to the past 

Ab5
But all these things are now long gone 
       Eb5           F5                  Ab5
And not to be wished upon again 

            Eb5       D5       C5       Ab5
But the music box continues to turn 
            Eb5       D5       C5       Ab5
The candle in the window continues to burn 
            Eb5       D5       C5       Ab5
But I know they're just memories 
            Eb5       D5       C5            Ab5
Like Christmas past and you      and me 

D5
I miss you baby,    Oh yes, I do 
G5
And it's been far too long 
Eb5
Since I last laid eyes on you

              Ab5
I got the lights upon the Christmas tree 
              D5
I got the candle lit for you to see 
          G5
And beside this window I will wait 
          Eb5
For inside this night it's not too late 




[2.] 

I got the lights 

Up on the tree 

They're shining bright 

If you'd just believe 

Just believe with me

You know I'm gonna wait 

The clock keeps turning

I know it's not too late...
