Another bit of inspiration following a pre-waking dream that brought me a tune and the song title.

A completed CD song demo followed!

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

I was sitting alone long after you'd gone

Wondering how love had gone wrong

When in my mind your face I'd find

And with it the words for this song

 

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!
