EllenDXY - Seven Years (on Christmas Day) Lyrics

It's Christmas day
It starts to snow
Shimmers of wonder
That I used to know
Outside the carolers sing
Their merry song
But I can't feel their joy
When I sing along
I've already opened
My presents today
And the chef in the kitchen
Is a bonafide gourmet
The house smells like pudding
And roast beef casserole
But it doesn't feel like Christmas
No nothing at all
Each flicker of light
And every garland of pine
Turns bittersweet
Like the echoes of time
When hope filled the air
And when joy was alive
Now I stand in the twilight
Trying to survive
Seven years
Since you went away
Seven years
On Christmas day
If wishes were candles
I'd light up the past
To bring back the moments
That just didn't last
How time is a thief
And steals what is dear
Leaving traces of sweetness
This time of the year
Seven years
Since you passed away
Seven years
On Christmas day
What about dancing around the Christmas tree
What about the presents you only give to me
What about the kisses beneath the mistletoe
And what about your promise I'd never be alone
On Christmas day
On Christmas day
So I smile and pretend just for a day
I watch all the lights
As they twinkle and glow
Yet the warmth of the season
Won't touch my soul
Lost in a dream
Where Death never goes
Oh it doesn't feel like Christmas
No nothing at all
