Coming Home for Christmas Lyrics
Snow falling fast Clinging to the trees Bringing its silence On this Christmas Eve. The night, crisp and cold, An ebony sky, No stars to be seen, But the bright bite of white That surrounds me. All I can think of is Coming home to you Your warm tender passion sees me through. Feet start to fly. Can’t feel the ground. The beating of my heart - A solitary sound I’m coming home to you, my darling, I’m coming home to you, my love, I’m coming home to you right now. On this Christmas night I bring the light of love Home to you! On this Christmas night I bring the gifts of joy, peace, love, Home to you! Snow holding fast To cars and homes and trees, Bringing its mystery On this Christmas eve The cold, silent calm of This snowy, wintry night Brings me joy! Brings me delight! I’m coming home to you, my darling, I’m coming home to you, my love, I’m coming home to you right now. On this Christmas night I bring the light of love, Home to you! On this Christmas night I bring the gifts of peace, joy, love! Home to you. Coming home to you.

Without You Lyrics
Morning rising, Sun comes up, No more crying It’s bound to be tough. Tried to find the reasons Why you’re leaving, Thinking of the seasons, All those seasons. You’ll go your way, I’ll go mine. Remember when we started, It seemed so fine. Chili-hot ev’nings, Summer-sweet days, Laughing or crying, Caring always. Chorus: Feeling down, Feeling blue, Feeling lost, Without you. Feeling scared, So unsure What will I do without you? Without you. Morning rising Like ev’ry other day. Moon still sinking, You’ll soon be on your way. Tough times lie ahead for me, “Cause we’ll be apart, One day I’ll stop grieving But you’re still in my heart. © 2019. Donna Greenberg, Toronto, ON, Canada
