Your letter came yesterday
You're flying home for Christmas
Could you stop to see me smile
I sat down to remember
All the pain we shared
But I drifted to times not so hard
Oh I see you in the corner of
Life's grand ballroom
And I tremble to see you again
Let's all go home again
Find where we have been
Time is never understood
I see you holding me
Please don't let me be
Tonight just may be our last
The bell rings to tell me
You're here now
And I wonder if your eyes glow and sparkle in the night
And I can't believe you look this way
Like a doll in satin
On a birthday afternoon
Hold me tightly
Like never before
You've come to say you're alive
CHORUS
The sun arrives
You wake and peek outside
Touch my hand and walk right away
I hear you close the door
I don't feel joy anymore
And my heart is racing to who knows where
And I say it's our last night
And clutch my soul so tight
But I'll let go to have you again
CHORUS
