Ghosts of the South - This Lonely Christmas (Cajun Viking Records)

Wrote this in memory of my daughter, Miya, who we lost to bone cancer in 2013. She was only 15 years old. I miss her with every breath. Every moment of every day. This one's for everyone who misses their loved ones, especially during the Holidays.

Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
The Christmas tree in an empty room
No carols sung to the piano's tune
The candles burn their lonely light
No loved ones here on this silent night

[Chorus]
And I missed you
Don't know what I'll do
How I missed you
On this lonely Christmas

[Verse 2]
Decorations light the town
Gentle snow falls to the ground
Christmas joy in people's hearts
But I am here, falling apart

[Chorus]
And I miss you
Don't know what I'll do
How I miss you
On this lonely Christmas

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Upon your grave, I'll leave a rose
And say a prayer in silent prose
I'll visit friends and celebrate
While my heart quietly breaks

[Chorus]
And I miss you
Don't know what I'll do
How I miss you
On this lonely Christmas

[End]
