Intro:

F AM G C

(4 times)

Bm G

Remember last Christmas Eve

When we sat next to our first tree

Ornaments reflected light

Of a candle in the night

And I gave you a music box

Back then that seemed like so much

We watched it go round and round

As the melodies unwound

But all these things are now long gone

F G C

And not to be wished upon again

F Am G C

But the music box continues to turn

F Am G C

The candle in the window continues to burn

F Am G C

But I know they're just memories

F Am G C

Like Christmas past and you and me

Remember that old fireplace

That held the room in warm embrace

And as we watched for Christmas ghosts

The fire held the shadows close

But now upon that Christmas scene

The candle wax of melted dreams

And ornaments of shattered glass

Now belonging to the past

But all these things are now long gone

F G C

And not to be wished upon again

F Am G C

But the music box continues to turn

F Am G C

The candle in the window continues to burn

F Am G C

But I know they're just memories

F Am G C

Like Christmas past and you and me
