Ab
Remember last Christmas Eve
Dm
When we sat next to our first tree
Gm
Ornaments reflected light
Eb
Of a candle in the night
Ab
And I gave you a music box
Dm
Back then that seemed like so much
Gm
We watched it go round and round
Eb
As the melodies unwound
Ab
But all these things are now long gone
Eb F Ab
And not to be wished upon again
Eb Dm Cm Ab
But the music box continues to turn
Eb Dm Cm Ab
The candle in the window continues to burn
Eb Dm Cm Ab
But I know they're just memories
Eb Dm Cm Ab F
Like Christmas past and you and me
Ab
Remember that old fireplace
Dm
That held the room in warm embrace
Gm
And as we watched for Christmas ghosts
Eb
The fire held the shadows close
Ab
But now upon that Christmas scene
Dm
The candle wax of melted dreams
Gm
And ornaments of shattered glass
Eb
Now belonging to the past
Ab
But all these things are now long gone
Eb F Ab
And not to be wished upon again
Eb Dm Cm Ab
But the music box continues to turn
Eb Dm Cm Ab
The candle in the window continues to burn
Eb Dm Cm Ab
But I know they're just memories
Eb Dm Cm Ab
Like Christmas past and you and me
Dm
I miss you baby, Oh yes, I do
Gm
And it's been far too long
Eb
Since I last laid eyes on you
Stanza [1.] [2.] [3.] [4.] (play 4 times) addlib stanza [2.] through [4.]
Ab
I got the lights upon the Christmas tree
Dm
I got the candle lit for you to see
Gm
And beside this window I will wait
Eb
For inside this night it's not too late
[2.]
I got the lights
Up on the tree
They're shining bright
If you'd just believe
Just believe with me
[3.] solo stanza Play same as stanza 2 and 4
[4.]
The candles burning
You know I'm gonna wait
The clock keeps turning
But I know it's not
I know it's not too late...
(play after [4.]) Ab Dm Gm Eb F
[5.]
Ab
I got the lights upon the Christmas tree

For inside this night

I know it's not too late
