I think of loved ones whove pa**ed away And I pray theyre resting in a better place I think of memories of years gone by And sometimes Christmas makes me cry I think of soldiers across the sea And sometimes I wonder why its them instead of me That for my freedom they give their lives And sometimes Christmas makes me cry Tears of thankfulness Tears of hope I cry tears of joy at Christmas Because I know There is peace on Earth For every heart to find And sometimes Christmas makes me cry I think of family, I think of home And say a prayer for those who spend this time alone Cause love can reach out into a silent night
And thats why Christmas makes me cry Tears of thankfulness Tears of hope I cry tears of joy at Christmas Because I know There is peace on Earth For every heart to find And sometimes Christmas makes me cry I think of Mary and a virgin birth And Im amazed by how much God thinks we are worth That He would send His only son to die And sometimes Christmas makes me cry Tears of thankfulness Tears of hope I cry tears of joy at Christmas Because I know There is peace on Earth For every heart to find And sometimes Christmas makes me cry Christmas makes me cry
