[hometext] => I wrote this song while watching A Christmas Carol and wrapping presents for my kids shortly after my divirce was final. The recorded song is at www.scottjeffreymusic.com
[bodytext] => Another bottle nearly empty Another fine merlot Another fire slowly burning Another newly fallen snow. Another reason to find solace At the bottom of a glass Another night I’m being haunted By my ghosts of Christmas past. Thumbing through old photographs I stashed way back in a drawer A lifetime of frozen images Spread out across the floor. I’m reliving old sentimental scenes My heart is beating fast. Tonight I’m being haunted By my ghosts of Christmas Past. Outside I hear you calling and that lonesome north wind blow. The snow just keeps on falling And deep inside I know My life’s a faded photograph that time will certainly outlast All my transgressions resurrected By my ghosts of Christmas Past. At night this old house whispers when everything is still. Like the silent snowfall drifting All along my windowsill. I’m living in your memory And in the shadows that it cast. I guess I’ll be forever haunted By my Ghosts of Christmas Past {BRIDGE} Another fading memory Another glass of wine Another life ago Another place in time Another reminiscent smile Another thought, another tear Another Christmas Eve without you Another month Another year…… My shallow lies and alibis And a tarnished wedding ring It’s strange how something That meant nothing Could cost me everything. Last night you fell into my arms But dreams just do not last They fade away in shades of gray Like my ghosts of Christmas Past [comments] => 1 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 34 [informant] => lonelyboy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )
