The Gift of Christmas 
Singer/songwriter: Jane Ralston Pahr
Arrangement:  Carlo Urizio
 V1 
Shivering cold outside I gaze through the window
Of the place where I used to live
It looks so warm inside and yet I know   
I can knock but I cannot go in  
V2   
Said stability was not the way for me      	       
I wanted a life that was more exciting.	
Didn't want a family, loved being free    
Though home looks  inviting on a cold night like this

Chorus    
Haunted by the ghost of Christmas past I ask, 
What does it mean this evergreen scene?  
It touches me so   
I wonder if  I can ever love again 
And find the gift of Christmas that I lost.

V3       
I see my little girl in an excited twirl
Dancing with her dad, she looks so happy.
She grabs a candy cane and then they whirl again
Their world looks  complete  and oh so sweet... so sweet.

Chorus    
 Haunted by the ghost of Christmas past I ask, 
What does it mean this evergreen scene?  
It touches me so   
I wonder can I go home again 
And find the gift of Christmas that I lost.

Bridge
Maybe it's time to stop roamin'
Maybe if I knock they'll let me in 
And I may just die, if I don't give it a try
And the teardrops they are falling from my eyes
the teardrops they are fallin'

Chorus 
Haunted by the ghost of Christmas past.
I asked, “What does it mean this evergreen scene?
It touched me so
I know  I have never stopped loving 
and I find the gift of Christmas in my heart.  
Love was  there inside me from the start.
That is the gift of Christmas

©Christmas Child 
Heard the bells, I feel the snow 
A mirror, someone I used to know 
The child inside at Christmastime 
I have not seen you in quite a while

Teddy bears and pretty things 
The glow of gold on an angels wing 
The Scent of pine, the wreaths we made 
The Christmas wish of my yesterday

CHORUS 
Oh Christmas child sing your song 
 As tiny lights dance along 
 Take me back, take me home 
 Take me where my heart belongs

Magic stars on tinsel trees 
A time to laugh and a time to dream 
Miss those days that said so long 
Those days so bright and my heart so young

CHORUS
Oh Christmas child sing your song 
As tiny lights dance along 
Take me back, take me home 
Take me where my heart belongs

Sleeping Child, awaken now 
Your dreams and hopes they sing outloud 
The bells of Christmas proclaim your song 
The Christmas wish in your heart’s been found

Baby, I Just Don't Know
