Well, here we are, looking towards an unusual festive season - but let's also look on the bright side. 

..............................................................................

At home, all alone

So sad on my own

I was wondering how things were so wrong

When your face filled my mind

Loving eyes to remind

Me of what I had missed all along

 

That night before Christmas

All on my own

Was the loneliest night of the year

The night before Christmas

When I picked up the phone

And struggled to hold back a tear

Hurting so bad you weren't here.

 

You'll never know 

But I know it's so

My joy when you answered that call

And the catch in your voice

Made my heart rejoice

That love was still there after all

 

That night before Christmas

All on my own

Was the loneliest night of the year

But the night before Christmas

When you picked up the phone

And I heard your sweet voice in my ear

Was the HAPPIEST night of the year!
