Promise Me You'll Call
A Heartfelt Christmas Wish: Promise to Connect
Lyrics
Hey, what a year
Reflecting on the past year
Hope you’ve saved a little cheer
Wishing for some happiness or celebration
Time to write another Christmas card
Time to send a Christmas card
Saying “I wish you were here”
Expressing a desire for the person to be present
Though my stocking’s by the tree
Mentioning a stocking placed by the Christmas tree
Don’t think you can count on me
Expressing uncertainty about dependability
Save my plate for any other date
Keeping a plate reserved for another time
When the fates can all agree
Waiting for favorable circumstances
While my glass is still half full
Optimistic outlook despite challenges
For a Christmas miracle
Hoping for a Christmas miracle
It’s hard to feel that holiday glow
Struggling to feel the holiday spirit
It’s not just bourbon by the fire
Mentioning bourbon by the fire
It’s that old Yuletide desire
Desiring the traditional Christmas atmosphere
To fill a home with joy and love for all
Expressing the desire for a joyful and loving home
So this Christmas, just promise me you’ll call
Asking for a promise to call during Christmas
I miss laughing with a crowd
Missing the joy of laughter with others
Singing Holy Night too loud
Longing for festive singing
I pine for all the ornaments
Missing the decorations with care
Hung with care on every bough
Remembering the ornaments on every branch
I guess Jack Frost nipped too hard
Feeling the impact of winter weather
No children playing in the yard
Noticing the absence of children playing
I’ve been looking 'round for Parson Brown
Searching for a symbolic figure
Won't you send him my regards?
Requesting a message be sent to someone
But just when I was feeling grim
Receiving cookies in a tin lifted spirits
You sent those cookies in a tin
Saving cookies for when it snows
So I’m saving some for when I see snow
Anticipating a change in appearance due to indulgence
Though I may look a little less trim
Promising a cheerful expression despite changes
I’ll give you a Santa worthy grin
Smiling when enjoying eggnog
When the eggnog brings out my southern drawl
Expressing a desire for a call during Christmas
So this Christmas, just promise me you’ll call
Requesting a promise to call during Christmas
While I know we can’t embrace,
Acknowledging physical distance
It would be great see your face
Expressing a wish to see the person's face
Please know this Christmas you are not alone
Assuring the person they are not alone during Christmas
So hang that star up even higher
Encouraging elevated holiday decorations
Sing those carols with no choir
Encouraging singing without a choir
When we’re apart, no gesture is too small
Stressing the significance of small gestures when apart
So this Christmas, just promise me you’ll call
Reiterating the request to promise a call during Christmas
