When Christmas Time Comes Around
Nostalgic Yearning: Christmastime Memories
Lyrics
When Christmastime comes around
Reflecting on the arrival of the Christmas season
I book my ticket out of town
Planning to leave town during Christmas
The sight of the Christmas tree that lights up the square
Describing the Christmas tree illuminating the square
Just reminds me of the moments that my love and I would share
Feeling nostalgic about past moments with a loved one
If I should hang mistletoe
Contemplating hanging mistletoe, missing the loved one
I'll just wonder oh where did she go
Expressing the absence and wondering where the loved one is
The good tidings of great joy don't fill my heart
Not finding joy in traditional Christmas greetings
Cause the person who once owned it is so many worlds apart
Feeling emotionally distant from the person who once shared joy
And will never return to the place we've been
Realizing the loved one will never return to shared memories
I must begin
Acknowledging the need to start anew
To live again
Embracing the idea of living life again
I find a sandy beach
Seeking solace in a serene beach environment
To keep her memory out of reach
Trying to keep the memories of the loved one at bay
But when I close my eyes
Discovering that the loved one occupies thoughts when eyes are closed
It's only her to my surprise
Realizing the persistent presence of the loved one in thoughts
And so this year
Describing the current year with the recurrence of snow
When snow appeared
Noting the appearance of snow and its significance
I looked her number up and she was near
Discovering the loved one's proximity and reaching out
I called and I told her how my heart was poor
Communicating feelings of a longing heart to the loved one
And the only answer was for her to be with me once more
Expressing the desire for the loved one to be together again
