In a cold December night under the tree
He sits alone with thoughts of what might be
His mind wanders back to old days of gold
To a love story that's never really old
He dreams of her smile - her hand in his
Laughter and whispers he sorely missed
Every year at Christmas she comes to mind
A love left behind a hope hard to find
Oh if only time could rewind
I'd hold her close - never leave her behind
In my head love still flies
But reality it cries
Presents are wrapped but his heart unwraps pain
Nostalgia drips like the snow or rain
Lights twinkle while memories jingle
Love long gone yet feelings still tingle
Lonely now but not without his pride
He wonders how if she was by his side
Would the children play under mistletoe?
Building a life together - watch them grow
Oh if only time could rewind
I'd hold her close - never leave her behind
In my head love still flies
But reality it cries
