June & The Paper Hearts - The Christmas Card

Dear you,

I hope you’re doing well

It’s been a long time

I know

But Christmas came around again

And there was something I should tell you

I found an old box in the closet With a ribbon tied

around

There were photographs and letters And memories

I thought I’d put away Then I found that little Christmas card

You gave me years ago

The one with snowflakes on the front

And words I still remember

So I’m writing you

a Christmas card Just to say I hope you’re fine

I’m writing you

a Christmas card After all

this time

I don’t know where you are tonight

Or what your Christmas looks like now

But somewhere in this December I thought about you somehow

Do you

remember Christmas Eve When we stayed up way too late?

We listened to the radio

And laughed about our terrible singing

You said we’d always be like this

You said we’d never change

Funny how the years can pass And everything can rearrange Maybe some

things aren’t meant to stay

Maybe some roads just turn away But that doesn’t mean the memories

disappear

And every year when December comes I hear that old familiar song

And for a little while It feels like you are here Here…

Right here… For a little while…

So I’m writing you

a Christmas card Just to say I hope you’re fine

I’m writing you a Christmas card After all this time

I hope somebody’s there tonight To leave a light on just for

you

I hope your Christmas is a good one

And I hope life has been kind to

you

I don’t know if I’ll ever send it…

But I wrote it down.

Merry Christmas, wherever you

are…
