Donna Redmond Brownell - Christmastime Without you lyrics

I think of howling wind and cold the snow upon my roof I chill to think the temperature will turn rain to ice as proof. I watch as all the cars slow down almost to a halt I hope everyone is safe tonight that the trucks have dropped their salt. I watch the news and weather too I hear their tales of gloom I pray everyone is warm tonight, as I am in my living room. I smell the cookies baking and sense the Christmas cheer and everything is perfect, except that you're not here. I know you must be lonely and a chill must sure be yours I hope that your new friends are kind and that you are in doors. And as you rise so early and start your dreaded day I hope you find a reason to feel happy, bright and gay. And as your day turns into night and you grow tired and weary remember that we're thinking of you hoping your day's not dreary. I look at our Christmas tree covered with ornaments and lights I wonder if you have a tree Christmas just doesn't seem right. I wrap the gift and presents for you and everyone they're pretty as can be but it just isn't any fun. So on Christmas day, as you are there and we are here without you, remember how we love you and that we're thinking ‘bout you.
