Hold Them Close

Tom: Bb

Bb                          Gm
 The snow if softly falling outside
Eb                      F
 Each flake illuminated by the twinkling lights
Bb                   Gm
 The songs they echo far and near
Eb                           F
 There's magic in the air is full of festive chirr


[Chorus]
 Bb
 All of these things
      Eb
 They make me reflect
        Gm
 On the year that has past
     F
 The ones who have left

 Bb
 Light up the darkness
 Eb
 Beauty surround
 Gm
 Hope for the future
 F
 Wonder at now

    Bb
 So count all the stars
      Eb
 It's Christmas time
        Gm
 It's a funny old thing
      F
 It's one we call life

 Bb
 Whether is love
 Eb
 To keep it in your mind
     Gm
 And hold them close
F
 It's Christmas time


[Verse]
Bb                          Gm
 And when I wake up on that winter storm
Eb                     F
 And I'm surrounded by all the ones I love
Bb                         Gm
 I don't want presents for all I need
Eb                    F
 Are these moments as memories to keep


[Chorus]
 Bb
 All of these things
      Eb
 They make me reflect
        Gm
 On the year that has past
     F
 The ones who have left

 Bb
 Light up the darkness
 Eb
 Beauty surround
 Gm
 Hope for the future
 F
 Wonder at now

    Bb
 So count all the stars
      Eb
 It's Christmas time
        Gm
 It's a funny old thing
      F
 It's one we call life

 Bb
 Whether is love
 Eb
 To keep it in your mind
     Gm
 And hold them close
F
 It's Christmas time
    Bb
 So count all the stars
      Eb
 It's Christmas time
        Gm
 It's a funny old thing
      F
 It's one we call life

 Bb
 Whether is love
 Eb
 To keep it in your mind
     Gm
 And hold them close
F
 It's Christmas time
