Christmas Eve
©2006 Wendell Kimbrough

Once again it’s Christmas Eve
And I know you
You’ve had something up your sleeve
For the last three years, you have left me cold

‘Twas not so long ago
When I was old
And I was trying to hold to you
But you would not let me, I did not know

Now, now I feel so young
And if I’m free, this is all I need
You, you can slip away
And I will stay, I will celebrate

Me, me I’m not alone
I’m with friends
I’m not wandering far,
Far away from home, away from home

Here, here the walls are strong
And you know me, you know I may be wrong
But I, I feel like I have died
And when I did, I learned to be alive
When, when the dark is close
Now I know, I can wink and smile
Near, oh so near, to my home

Once again it’s Christmas Eve
And I know you
You’ve got something up your sleeve
But you can slip away
And I will stay; I will celebrate
Near, oh so near, to my home
