Jessica's Lament

Now it’s Christmas Eve Look at all that snow
Why do you have to leave? Gifts I must bestow
I need you here with me I must go
Tonight

Through winter skies you’ll soar I'll be home by noon
I’ll watch you start your tour Have to leave here soon
Until that sleigh’s no more Rising moon
In sight

Chorus:
Christmas is a time for dreams come true
Stored up in our hearts the whole year through
There’s so much joy to share
It reaches everywhere
But I can’t spend Christmas Eve with you
No, I can’t spend Christmas Eve with you…


As the night expires The world is calling me
I’ll sit with my desires To leave all their dreams
Alone here by the fire Under the tree
So bright

If only you could stay I hate to see your tears
Will it always be this way? But I can’t stay here
I wish you wouldn’t say Kiss me, Dear
It’s time

(Repeat chorus)
