about

… It’s that time of year again… CHRISTMAS!
Personally, I find mixed amongst the happy glorious time is a slight veil of sadness….
Fond yearnings for old friends, loves lost and folks who aren’t with us anymore… This year these feelings are especially strong with so many families affected by the ongoing conflicts around the world.
Many families sadly have lost loved one’s in IRAQ & AFGANISTAN. As well many Moms, Dads, husbands, wives and children are home missing someone CURRENTLY in harm’s way… this song is for you…
Kevin John Allen

lyrics

CHRISTMAS WITHOUT YOU……

Christmas is upon us,
The snow is all around
The smiles on children’s faces
But you’re nowhere to be found.

I remember back on Thanksgiving
An empty place we set
Your spirit’s always with us
It’s a love time just can’t forget.

So let’s raise a glass and toast the folks gone by
Let’s find the strength to see us thru
I’ve got to tell as I sit here tonight
It’s just not Christmas without you…
It’s just not Christmas without you…

The hoof beats on the roof ?
The children’s shouts of glee
I remember many years ago
When that little boy was me.

But now you’re gone
It just doesn’t seem the same
All the things you gave me
Well I’ll pass them on again.

So let’s raise a glass and toast the folks gone by
Let’s find the strength to see us thru
I’ve got to tell as I sit here tonight
It’s just not Christmas without you…
It’s just not Christmas without you…

Christmas is upon us,
The snow is all around
The smiles on children’s faces
But you’re nowhere to be found.
