Christmas Ghost

Do you ever laugh on Christmas Eve and feel guilty?

Cause your dad was taken from the holidays too early

Green and red and hospital gowns

A plot that makes the hallmark channel proud

Not a dry eye in the theater

Mine aren't either

Snow falls

Family calls

A gift under the tree

There's space where he would be

But I hang the lights

Hope he'd say I got them right

Holidays are different than you know

When you've got a Christmas Ghost

Future present past up on the mantle

Every year's another Christmas Carol

The bells ring by the hundreds

The angels will come running

Reminding me what it could be

What it is and what it isn't

Snow falls

Family calls

A gift under the tree

There's space where he would be

But I hang the lights

Hope he'd say I got them right

Holidays are different than you know

When you have a Christmas Ghost

Stop asking me if I'm ok

Got enough reminders on the day

Snow falls

Family calls

A gift under the tree

There's space where he would be

But I hang the lights

Hope he'd say I got them right

Holidays are different than you know

When you have a Christmas Ghost
