"Christmas At Our House" lyrics

Is this the room where we learned how to cry
Tears of festive joy for the very first time
Was there laughter and kindness echoing these halls
And did sweet, flickering candlelight once dance on these walls
If I could go back to any place in mind
Christmas at our house was our favorite time

Christmas at our house was a time for good cheer
So be sure to remember to not shed a tear
For the loved ones we've lost
Forever hold them dear
Christmas at our house was the best time of year

Is this the room where we learned how to give
Boxes with ribbons and presents within
With the candles for the reindeer and whiskey for Saint Nick
Did a bowl smell of spruce mead, the sweet taste of fig
And we sang to the cinders with logs on the fire
While the TV ran repeats of It's A Wonderful Life
I remember it so well and I will til' I die
Christmas at our house was the happiest time

Christmas at our house was a time for good cheer
So be sure to remember to not shed a tear
For the loved ones we've lost
Forever hold them dear
Christmas at our house was the best time of year

This is the room where we said our goodbyes
Where Mom held your hand from dusk until light
Now at the head of our table, there's an empty chair
Who on this green Earth will carve the turkey this year
If I could go back to any place in mind
Christmas at our house was the happiest time

Christmas at our house was a time for good cheer
So be sure to remember to not shed a tear
For the loved ones we've lost
Forever hold them dear
Christmas at our house was the best time of year
