Here's my contribution towards the coming Festive Season.  Grateful to Diamond Studios of Bristol.

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

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!
