Could You Be Mine This Christmas? – aftiel
It was once upon a time before,
Now seems so far away,
That I had watched you smile at me,
On that special Christmas day.
I remember the baubles on our Christmas tree
The magic of the dancing lights
The fireplace we both tried to build
While wishing that snow would come that night.
And my one single prayer this season
My only Christmas wish this year
A hope beyond all hopes I know
But I pray that you will hear.
Could you be mine this Christmas,
Would you hold me tight?
Could I lay in your arms this Christmas,
And tell me we’d be alright?
Could you be mine this Christmas,
Watch me fall asleep?
Kiss me under that mistletoe we hung once before,
As the clock strikes past Christmas eve?
Maybe one day I’ll find out
How Christmas came to be
But until I feel Christmas once again,
I remember how you had once held me.
And as I close my eyes to sleep
I’ll still wish with all my might
That you will be by my side again
As I fall asleep on at night.
So once again, I’ll pray for this,
A miracle, this Christmas eve,
And maybe God will hear my cry,
And send you back to me.
Could you be mine this Christmas,
Would you hold me tight?
Could I lay in your arms this Christmas,
And tell me we’d be alright?
Could you be mine this Christmas,
Watch me fall asleep?
Kiss me under that mistletoe we hung once before,
As the clock strikes past Christmas eve?
I had originally intended to give this song to you as a Christmas gift, but I guess I lost my music, the melody, when I lost you.
I wanted to enclose it with a letter, to tell you I couldn’t go on, that we should go our separate ways, but then I’m suddenly reminded of the past — a past that I told myself I would never repeat.
So, as much as the song is yours, I’d never tell.
Happy Christmas, y’all. =)
