1 Verse:
I’m thinking about the holiday
And the sands of time
Years pass like pages of old family
Photos in my mind
Faces and the places
How Decembers used to be
A little loneliness and longing
It rises up in me
Chorus:
Sometime every Christmas
Can’t say where or when or why
But some moment or some memory
Takes me by surprise
And something in the season
Wells up in my eye
Sometime every Christmas
I cry
2 Verse:
Might be some choir of children
Singing silent night
Or driving through my hometown seeing
Main Street dressed in lights
Maybe that old video
When I hear my granddads prayer
Or my mother’s living room
With my father’s empty chair
Chorus:
Sometime every Christmas
Can’t say where or when or why
But some moment or some memory
Takes me by surprise
And something in the season
Wells up in my eye
Sometime every Christmas
I cry
Bridge:
And I read Luke chapter two
How God came to pursue
A world in need
Someone like me
Chorus:
Sometime every Christmas
Can’t say where or when or why
But some moment or some memory
And takes me by surprise
And something in the season
Wells up in my eye
Sometime every Christmas
I cry
