Somber Christmas

(album: December's Here - 2021)

Jingle bells' ringing
But your cheer's been spent
Your heart's been stomped on
So you won't pretend
And the snow is falling
But that just reminds you that
Your love is ending at the worst time
Christmas doesn't have to be so somber

It's a miracle if you let it be
Follow all the lights back home
And make new memories
Let the gifts remind you
That someone's on your side
When we start things over
It gets better every time
Christmas doesn't have to be so somber this year

Wrap up all your regrets
Throw em in the fire
We'll flip through old polaroids of simpler times
Let's take a ride down our favorite block
With the cluttered lights
We used to roll the windows down and sing our favorite carols
Christmas doesn't have to be so somber

It's a miracle if you let it be
Follow all the lights back home
And make new memories
Let the gifts remind you
That someone's on your side
When we start things over
It gets better every time
Christmas doesn't have to be so somber this year
This year
Better this year
This year

Christmas time you're broken hearted
Lift your head out of the darkness
Lights are sparkling
The sun is rising
The sun is rising
In the morning

It's a miracle if you let it be
Follow all the lights back home
And make new memories
Let the gifts remind you
That someone's on your side
When we start things over
It gets better every time
Christmas doesn't have to be so somber
Christmas doesn't have to be so somber this year
