Music Box Blues - Live at Daryl Pediford Tribute Concert, New York City, NY, 2004

Remember last Christmas Eve
 When we sat next to our first tree
 Ornaments reflected light
 Of a candle in the night
 And I gave you a music box
 Back then that seemed like so much
 We watched it go round and round
 As the melodies unwound
 But all these things are now long gone
 And not to be wished upon again
 But the music box continues to turn
 The candle in the window continues to burn
 But I know they're just memories
 Like Christmas past and you and me
 Remember that old fireplace
 That held the room in warm embrace
 And as we watched for Christmas ghosts
 The fire held the shadows close
 But now upon that Christmas scene
 The candle wax of melted dreams
 And ornaments of shattered glass
 Now belonging to the past
 But all these things are now long gone
 And not to be wished upon again
 But the music box continues to turn
 The candle in the window continues to burn
 But I know they're just memories
 Like Christmas past and you and me
 I miss you baby
 Oh yes, I do
 And it's been far too long
 Since I last laid eyes on you
 I got the lights upon the Christmas tree
 I got the candle lit for you to see
 And beside this window I will wait
 For inside this night it's not too late
 I got the lights
 Up on the tree
 They're shining bright
 If you'd just believe
 Just believe with me
 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
 I got the lights upon the Christmas tree
 I got the candle lit for you to see
 And beside this window I will wait
 For inside this night
 I know it's not too late
