It's Christmas Eve my sweet
What delight will there be tonight
Handmade treats
And well wrapped gifts
Meaningful momentos
Underneath childhood ornaments
Soft candle light
And sacred hymns
Noels and Silent Nights
It's Christmas Eve my love
These are things past
Quiet memories
Like Dickens' Ghosts
Come and go through the night
Reminding me
Of where I've been
And whispering tomorrow's hope
