• Christmas soldier
    The snow falls with elegant grace
    And lands upon the cold windowsill
    The holiday lights are already hung upon the houses
    And the smiling faces of children with parents sitting around the tree
    How I wished that I was them
    To be smiling with a loved one, while sitting by the Christmas tree.
    But I sit her all alone with a lone gift in my hand
    Not daring to put it down
    Not daring to lose you again
    To some war that took you a away on my Christmas day a year ago
    So I clutch it to my heart, to keep you there for ever
    Wishing that I could only get one more Christmas present
    Then suddenly a knock at the door
    Was it a wish come true?
    For you stood there and came back to me
    My Christmas soldier
