This Time Each Year (A Christmas Song)
V1)
Gingerbread eyes and peppermint hair
He sits alone at the window and quietly stares
At all the other children playing in the snow
Mommy's addicted and daddy's long gone
Just an innocent victim of a loveless home
There's no one to read him stories
No one to sing him to sleep
No one's there to help this angel put an angel on the tree
Chorus)
Ooh this time each year
He cries into the night but no one can hear
Ooh he does his best to hang on
Tries staying strong but he still sheds a tear
This time each year
V2) She pulls out his picture and whispers his name
She still remembers the day the message came
The soldier she loved had been stolen from this world
Now her days are only filled with pain and regret
She knows that healing will find her but it ain't found her yet
Sdhe used to bake him cookies while he'd put lights up on their home
Now she's left in their bedroom wrapping gifts alone
Chorus)
Ooh this time each year
The emptiness he left is all too clear
Ooh she does her best to hang on
She tries staying strong but she still sheds a tear
This time each year
V3)
This world's filled with sorrow, anger, and hate
But with compassion among us it's never too late
There's still time to make a difference with our lives
Cause the hopeless and hungry, the lonely and cold
The lost and the needy, the tired and old
They're all scattered out among us, they're all reaching for a hand
They just need someone to lean on, someone to help them stand
Chorus)
So ooh this time each year
Let's give unto others, let's spread the joy and cheer
Ooh let's hold hands and hang on
Cause no ones alone, loves always near
So let's pray for peace and let's share a tear
This time each year
omg your so good
