She leaned with her head on the window Watching evergreen bend in the snow Remembering Christmas the way it had been So many seasons ago When children would reach for their stockings And open the presents they found The lights on the tree would shine bright in their eyes Reflecting the love all around This year there's no one to open the gifts No reason for trimming the tree And just as a tear made it's way to the floor She heard voices outside start to sing Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here Merry Christmas if even just one May the joy of the season surround you Merry Christmas with love Carolers sang as she opened the door Faces of friends in the crowd And all of the shadows of lonely reminders Driven away by the sound Now the heart that for years had been silenced Was suddenly filled with a song As she clung to their hands like a child in the night She found her self singing along Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here Merry Christmas if even just one May the joy of the season surround you Merry Christmas with love Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here Merry Christmas if even just one May the joy of the season surround you Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas) Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas) Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas) With love
