Christmas Ghost

It was Christmas time in 1910
 The winter took its hold again
 He thought of you, those smiling eyes
 It brought him through the winter skies
 You hoped that day would never end
 There wasn't a lot
 You knew that then
 But when winter came around again
 You never saw his face again
 Oh that Christmas was the last time that you saw him
 And when the Christmas bells start ringing
 It brings you closer to him
 Christmas is a time for joy
 For understanding, girls and boys
 But underneath the mistletoe
 You stand alone and greet his ghost
 Oh that Christmas was the last time that you saw him
 And when the Christmas bells start ringing
 It brings you closer to him
 Christmas day will come again
 The Christmas bells will ring again
 That Christmas day will never end
 Your Christmas ghost will come again
 Oh that Christmas was the last time that you saw him
 And when the Christmas bells start ringing
 It brings you closer to that Christmas
 It was the last time that you saw him
 And when the Christmas bells start ringing
 It brings you closer to him
