Iain Darey - Ghosts of Christmas Past
Writer: Clive G Beresford, Iain Darey
Copyright: 2024 Spyda Music Productions. All rights reserved
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Childhood memories of Christmas past come back to haunt me,
Down that dusty dirt road where we used to run free.
The scent of pine and cedar filled the air,
Hot cocoa on the stove, the warmth of love everywhere.
Mom would hang the ornaments, bright and full of cheer,
But now those echoes linger, just shadows of the year.
[Chorus]
Coming home to the family I left behind,
Christmas should have been a time of joy and happiness,
But sad memories of childhood Christmases gone by,
Leave my heart feeling heavy, lost in this wilderness.
Oh, what went wrong, as the years slipped away?
Im longing for the laughter of those bright, golden days.
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Wed ride our old horses, through snowflakes like dreams,
Sledding down the hills, laughter bursting at the seams.
But life has a way of stealing that light,
With hard work and sacrifice, keeping dreams out of sight.
I traded my freedom for a job that pays the bills,
And now Im just a cowboy, chasing down bitter thrills.
[Chorus]
Coming home to the family I left behind,
Christmas should have been a time of joy and happiness,
But sad memories of childhood Christmases gone by,
Leave my heart feeling heavy, lost in this wilderness.
Oh, what went wrong, as the years slipped away?
Im longing for the laughter of those bright, golden days
[Instrumental Break].
[Verse 3]
Now I sit by the fire, but the warmth feels so cold,
Thinking bout the laughter that used to be bold.
I feel the weight of choices, the dreams that I lost,
Every twinkling lights a reminder of the cost.
And though the road was an adventure, it led me astray,
Now my hearts full of regret for the price I had to pay.
[Chorus]
Coming home to the family I left behind,
Christmas should have been a time of joy and happiness,
But sad memories of childhood Christmases gone by,
Leave my heart feeling heavy, lost in this wilderness.
Oh, what went wrong, as the years slipped away?
Im longing for the laughter of those bright, golden days.
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
So here's to the memories, both sweet and so sour,
For every little moment held precious power.
Ill find redemption in the love that I seek,
Cause deep down inside, its the hope that I keep.
[Chorus]
Coming home to the family I left behind,
Christmas should have been a time of joy and happiness,
But sad memories of childhood Christmases gone by,
Leave my heart feeling heavy, lost in this wilderness.
Oh, what went wrong, as the years slipped away?
Im longing for the laughter of those bright, golden days.
[Spoken]
Childhood memories of Christmas past,
Ill hold them close, though they fade too fast.
[Instrumental Outro]
[End]
