Sometimes Christmas brings back a softness you can’t quite name.
The lights across a valley, the quiet hush of snowfall, the glow of a fire… all of it can carry the echo of someone who shaped our world in ways that never fade.
This song is a wish sent out into that quiet. A hope that the peace of the season finds the one who still lives warm in memory, wherever they may be.
If you’ve ever felt someone beside you in the stillness of a holiday night, this one is for you.

Read-Along Lyrics

Merry Christmas Wherever You Are

[Intro]
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
The Christmas lights across the valley
Glow soft like they remember us.
Snow keeps fallin' on the rooftops
Giving the whole scene a quiet hush.
As I sit alone on this porch swing,
Watching the day’s fading light…
I swear I still hear our carols,
In the stillness of this holiday night.

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
There were nights this season that shimmered
With the warmth we used to know.
Snuggled close beside the firelight,
Singing low while embers glowed.
Now the wind moves through the branches
Like a memory brushing near.
Christmas always seems to bring you
Close enough to almost hear.

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
If you are listening, love
Here is my wish this Christmas night.
May the calm this season carries
Wrap around you, soft and light.
When a soft light stirs around you
Or the hush settles where you stand,
Know that it’s my Christmas spirit
Reaching out to take your hand.

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
This year I hung one stocking by the fire
For the times we held so dear.
Not for gifts or expectation,
Just to keep your spirit near.
And now as the embers settle,
I swear I feel your presence grow.
Our love still lingers in this season,
While Christmas shines its gentle glow.

[Instrumental Break]

[Final Chorus]
If you are listening, love
Here is my prayer in steady light.
May the peace of Christmas find you
Wherever you are this Christmas night.
And if the world around you softens
Or a shimmer stirs the air,
I’ll be somewhere in that moment
Letting you know I’m always here.

[Outro]
[Soft Instrumental Fade]
Merry Christmas, love, wherever you are.
