Intro:
F AM G C (4 times)
Bm G
C
Remember last Christmas Eve
G
When we sat next to our first tree
Am
Ornaments reflected light
F
Of a candle in the night
C
And I gave you a music box
G
Back then that seemed like so much
Am
We watched it go round and round
F
As the melodies unwound
C
But all these things are now long gone
F G C
And not to be wished upon again
F Am G C
But the music box continues to turn
F Am G C
The candle in the window continues to burn
F Am G C
But I know they're just memories
F Am G C
Like Christmas past and you and me
C
Remember that old fireplace
G
That held the room in warm embrace
Am
And as we watched for Christmas ghosts
F
The fire held the shadows close
C
But now upon that Christmas scene
G
The candle wax of melted dreams
Am
And ornaments of shattered glass
F
Now belonging to the past
C
But all these things are now long gone
F G C
And not to be wished upon again
F Am G C
But the music box continues to turn
F Am G C
The candle in the window continues to burn
F Am G C
But I know they're just memories
F Am G C
Like Christmas past and you and me
