Ab
Remember last Christmas Eve 
Dm
When we sat next to our first tree 
Gm
Ornaments reflected light 
Eb
Of a candle in the night 

Ab
And I gave you a music box 
Dm
Back then that seemed like so much 
Gm
We watched it go round and round 
Eb
As the melodies unwound 

Ab
But all these things are now long gone 
Eb                  F                   Ab
And not to be wished upon again 

            Eb       Dm       Cm       Ab
But the music box continues to turn 
            Eb       Dm       Cm       Ab
The candle in the window continues to burn 
            Eb       Dm       Cm       Ab
But I know they're just memories 
            Eb       Dm       Cm       Ab       F
Like Christmas past and you and me 

Ab
Remember that old fireplace 
Dm
That held the room in warm embrace 
Gm
And as we watched for Christmas ghosts 
Eb
The fire held the shadows close 




Ab
But now upon that Christmas scene 
Dm
The candle wax of melted dreams 

Gm
And ornaments of shattered glass 
Eb
Now belonging to the past 

Ab
But all these things are now long gone 
       Eb           F                  Ab
And not to be wished upon again

            Eb       Dm       Cm       Ab
But the music box continues to turn 
            Eb       Dm       Cm       Ab
The candle in the window continues to burn 
            Eb       Dm       Cm       Ab
But I know they're just memories 
            Eb       Dm       Cm            Ab
Like Christmas past and you      and me 

Dm
I miss you baby,    Oh yes, I do 
Gm
And it's been far too long 
Eb
Since I last laid eyes on you 


Stanza [1.] [2.] [3.] [4.]  (play 4 times) addlib stanza [2.] through [4.]
              Ab
I got the lights upon the Christmas tree 
              Dm
I got the candle lit for you to see 
          Gm
And beside this window I will wait 
          Eb
For inside this night it's not too late 




[2.] 

I got the lights 

Up on the tree 

They're shining bright 

If you'd just believe 

Just believe with me 

[3.] solo stanza Play same as stanza 2 and 4

[4.]

The candles burning 

You know I'm gonna wait 

The clock keeps turning 

But I know it's not 

I know it's not too late...

             Ab
I got the lights upon the Christmas tree 
            Dm
I got the candle lit for you to see 
           Gm
And beside this window I will wait 
          Eb
For inside this night 
    F                       Ab
I know it's not too late
