Christmas Eyes

I don’t want to wait for the sun to kiss the sky
I just want to wake to a tree so filled with light
All the toys thrown across the floor wrapped in love
Smiles shining down on me from the sky above

It’s Christmas today, but you’re still away
Why don’t you stay

Received a kiss on the cheek from my darling mother
Received a hug from a man she pretends to love
Received these gifts with love from all others
I give them my soul which soars just like a dove

It’s Christmas today, but you’re still away
Why can’t you stay

Without your breath, the world will continue it’s turn
But without you all the light of joy begin to burn
Where are your eyes for their sight I continue to yearn
Is this a gift I may never earn?

It’s Christmas today, but you’re still away
Why didn’t you stay?
