Sing Me a Christmas Song

I used to watch the snowfall

Like magic from the sky,

Believed in twinkling windows

And reindeer passing by.

But these days lights feel colder,

And December’s far too long—

Still, something stirs inside me

When I hear those old-time songs.

So sing me a Christmas song,

One that takes me back again

To the child I was before

The world got heavy in my hands.

Let the melody remind me

Of a place where I belong.

If there’s any hope left in me—

Sing me a Christmas song.

I walk past crowded storefronts

And I barely even see

The carolers and garlands

That once meant home to me.

But somewhere in the shadows

Of a faded memory,

A choir hums “O Holy Night,”

And it warms what’s left of me.

So sing me a Christmas song,

One that takes me back again

To the child I was before

The world got heavy in my hands.

Let the melody remind me

Of a place where I belong.

If there’s any hope left in me—

Sing me a Christmas song.

Maybe joy’s not gone forever,

Maybe it’s just slow to rise.

Maybe all it needs is music

To reopen winter skies.

And if tonight the snow starts falling,

I might hum along at last—

A fragile little echo

Of a long-lost Christmas past.

So sing me a Christmas song,

Let the old bells ring again.

I’m reaching out to find the spark

I thought I’d never feel again.

Wrap the midnight in a memory,

Let the quiet pull me on—

‘Til my heart begins to whisper:

“Sing me a Christmas song.”
