This Time of Year

Yay-yay, ah-ah, mm, mm

Ah-la-la-la, la

Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I hang your picture on the tree

I stay awake remembering

When we were kids how I would sing

"Jingle Bells" and caroling

It's not the same without you here

The snow is hard this time of year

I light a candle on Christmas Eve

If only you could see

My silent night

My lonely night

Oh-oh-oh

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

I miss your love

I miss your light

Oh-oh-oh

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

I wish you may

I wish you might

Oh-oh-oh

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Feel the love I give tonight

Oh-oh, oh-oh

You lay beneath the same bright stars

Our distance keeps us very far

You can't afford to eat and live

You're praying something's gonna give

Your stomach aches, you wanna eat

You want another day to breathe

I long to give you what you need

You're hoping someone's gonna see

Your silent night

Your lonely night

Oh-oh-oh

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

You wish for love

You wish for light

Oh-oh-oh

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

You wish we may

You wish we might

Oh-oh-oh, yeah

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Give the love you need tonight

Oh-oh-oh

It's to the ones too far, the ones who've died

To the families left and the kids that cry

The planes that tried to take their fly

I pray you have some peace tonight

To the battles won and the battles lost

Towers fell, innocence was called

I hope you have more hope than I

And hold on to the lessons taught

To the people who can't cure the pain

(Ooh, ooh)

My brother who could not afford to stand

(Ooh, ooh)

To the children hurt and the women beat

(Ooh, ooh)

The homeless hungry on the street

(Ooh, ooh)

To the men who have to doorstep right

(Ooh, ooh)

To see their babies every night

(Ooh, ooh)

I hope that you can see the light, hey

With joy and love

With joy for life

My silent night

My lonely night

Oh-oh-oh

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

We miss your love

We miss your light

Oh-oh-oh, yeah

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

We wish you may

We wish you might

Oh-oh-oh

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Give the love you need tonight

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Yeah

Oh-oh-oh, see

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
