A Christmas Carol

Lyrics
Before the shining rays of dawn
Intrude upon my reverie
Let me dwell within the dark
With my ghosts of Christmas past
I will rise to greet the morn
Convene with merriment and mirth
Join in fellowship with all
But for now I must reflect
On shadowed faces barely seen
Deserving of a memory
Reminders of what might have been
Of things perhaps to come
Solemn is this final hour
So many shadows creeping in
This moment sadly will not last
But I must revel in it
Each story that cries out to me
Each sad song that I hear
Leaves a lasting gentle touch
When I open and draw near
