December 26th
I'm shoveling the walk
The tree is in the gutter
Lights are turning off
A couple months of snowfall
Before the sun comes out
We're back to being hurried
Back to acting proud
I wish I could hold Christmas
And it would stick around
For days when we run empty
For days when we feel down
I wish I could hold Christmas
And even in the darkest cloud
The light would shine out
On the other side
We pass another year
It's so strange to live
Without you standing here
Waiting for the fall
And skies to turn gray
Somehow in the shadow
A beacon shows the way
I wish I could hold Christmas
And it would stick around
For days when we run empty
For days when we feel down
I wish I could hold Christmas
And even in the darkest cloud
The light would shine out
I could wait another year
But soon enough I'm gonna pack my bags and get outta here
Make my way across the sky
To a home lit up with Christmas lights
I wish I could hold Christmas
And it would stick around
For days when we run empty
For days when we feel down
I wish I could hold Jesus
And even in the darkest cloud
His light would shine out
