Lyrics

The leaves on the trees begin to fall
as the summer says farewell.
The time of year is coming on for giving.

Our plans have changed, I am far away wishing
I could be with you.
But I’ll stay here so next year no one’s missing.

Chorus
Love is bright and big they say
it takes on many things.
It holds us up and reaches miles away.
And though we have to be apart on this holiday
close your eyes and know you’re not alone.
Like the suns return when a storm has passed
on a cold December day
My love’s a light that always makes it home.

All around the world this year
folks are distancing in love.
Traditions changed yet that Christmas star seems brighter.

We’ve been quite blessed throughout the years
filled with laughter, hugs, and touch.
Next year we’ll hold each other a little stronger.

Chorus
