The tree is up,
It’s time once more,
Christmas day will soon be here,
As I wonder what the gifts are under the tree,
I can’t help be reminded of all the ones that will never be,
It wasn’t that long ago,
I thought at this time of year, you’d still be with me
As another year will soon end,
And one more will begin,
It’s finally time I put to bed,
Any chance of seeing you again,
Here’s to new beginnings for us all,
As we all reach the most important present,
Here’s to the future, and good-bye to the past,
May the spirit carry us through,
And long may it last
