VERSE 1.

Alone by the fire

Resting by the Christmas tree

Children's gifts were on their way

On snowy sleigh of dreams

And as I sat wondering

What gift I'd love to see

My hopes were quickly answered

They were there in front of me

CHORUS

They were the Spirits of Christmas

Faces in the mist

The Spirits of Christmas 

The ones I've dearly missed 

It's something I have prayed for

What I saw beside the tree

"Cause The Spirits of Christmas

Were right in front of me

VERSE 2

I saw the ones I loved

Heaven has taken home

Through my tears I saw 

They were beautiful and young

There was my father and my mother

Who've been gone too many years

My season's wish has always been

To know that they were near

REPEAT CHORUS

 

BRIDGE

Every year I become a child

Through colored lights and snow

This year was a new adventure

Bringing my loved ones home

CHORUS

They were the Spirits of Christmas

Faces in the mist

The Spirits of Christmas 

The ones I've dearly missed 

It's something I have prayed for

What I saw beside the tree

"Cause the Spirits of Christmas

The Spirits of Christmas

The Spirits of Christmas

Were right in front of me

And they were smiling at me

NOTES ABOUT THIS Song:

HERE IS A REVIEW OF THE SONG:

"I was not expecting this song due to the fact Im doing Hip Hop reviews but WOW. This is a strong and powerful Ballad.

I love the lyrics and the emotions behind your voice when you sing it. I love the way you put your personal life on display

for the world to hear. I can see this song doing extremely well. The emotions it brings is something that only great music

brings the listener. Congrats on this beauty of a song. I hope I can hear more of your music and I hope its as powerful

and meaningful as the song I just listened to. Thanks for this gem.
