~*~This Christmas~*~
Oh holy night
Oh star bright
God up above,
Where's my love?
Gone heart's desire
Cold loves fire
Glowing embers died
I prayed, I cried.
No more shall I see
His face before me
Never a sweet smile
To comfort awhile.
Oh most holy eve
Alone I grieve
Christmas lights on a tree,
No joy for me.
Carolers chorus loud
To a happy crowd
Baby Jesus on display,
My baby died away.
I died with my soldier
I could be no colder
They've killed me too,
Pretty ribbons of blue.
Blood blends with sand
In a distant land
Starlight, star bright
Where's love tonight?
The soft fall of snow
Twinkling lights in a row
Kisses beneath mistletoe,
I lie weeping below.
Merry Christmas morn
My heart is torn
Decorations on a tree,
Bitterness for me.
So high freedom's cost
Love and life lost
Alone I bear the sorrows
Of Christmas tomorrows.
I cannot say goodbye
Just stare, just cry
Pretty paper all torn
I tremble, I mourn.
God still my aching heart
To soon we're apart
Hold him to your breast
Give my soldier rest.
