  Bb                          
Remember last Christmas Eve 
Dm
When we sat next to our first tree 
Gm
Ornaments reflected light 
Eb
Of a candle in the night 

Bb
And I gave you a music box 
Dm
Back then that seemed like so much 
Gm
We watched it go round and round 
Eb
As the melodies unwound 



Bb
But all these things are now long gone 
Eb            F             Bb
And not to be wished upon again 



        Eb    Dm   Cm7       Bb
But the music box continues to turn
         Eb           Dm   Cm7       Bb
The candle in the window continues to burn 
   Eb    Dm               Cm7       Bb
But I know they're just memories 
Eb              Dm  Cm7             Bb    F
Like Christmas past and you....... and me, yeah



Bb
Remember that old fireplace 
Dm
That held the room in warm embrace 
Gm
And as we watched for Christmas ghosts 
   Eb 
The fire held the shadows close 

Bb
But now upon that Christmas scene 
Dm
The candle wax of melted dreams 
Gm
And ornaments of shattered glass 
Eb
Now belonging to the past 



Bb
But all these things are now long gone 
Eb             F            Bb
And not to be wished upon again 



        Eb    Dm   Cm7       Bb
But the music box continues to turn
         Eb           Dm   Cm7       Bb
The candle in the window continues to burn 
   Eb    Dm               Cm7       Bb
But I know they're just memories 
Eb              Dm  Cm7             Bb    
Like Christmas past and you....... and me, yeah

Dm
I miss you baby 
Oh yes, I do 
              Gm
And it's been far too long 
         Eb
Since I last laid eyes on you 


          Bb
I got the lights upon the Christmas tree (The candles burning)
           Dm
I got the candle lit for you to see (You know I'm gonna wait)
      Gm
And beside this window I will wait (The clock keeps turning)
      Eb
For inside this night it's not too late (But I know it's not,I know it's not too late...)



I got the lights upon the Christmas tree 
I got the candle lit for you to see 
And beside this window I will wait 
For inside this night 
I know it's not too late
