Lonely Old Christmas

[Verse 1]
Snow is falling everywhere,
Not a soul in sight, just the frosty air.
A streetlight above gently glows,
Casting a shadow, on the life that I chose.

[Verse 2]
I hear the church bells in the distance ring,
A reminder of what this night can bring.
Though no one's here to embrace,
I feel the love in the Saviour's grace.

[Chorus]
It's only a lonely old Christmas tonight,
No laughter, no carols, no warm fire light.
But the peace of the season, it fills up my soul,
In the stillness, I'm whole—only a lonely old Christmas.

[Verse 3]
I walk out alone in the shimmering light
See many people on this silent night.
Some old, some young, some happy, some sad
I walk with the dreams that I had

[Chorus]
It's only a lonely old Christmas tonight,
No laughter, no carols, no warm fire light.
But the peace of the season, it fills up my soul,
In the stillness, I'm whole—only a lonely old Christmas.

[Bridge]
The world’s still turning, the stars still shine,
And I’ve not forgotten, this life is mine.
In the quiet, I find what I have missed,
The joy of a night like this.

[Chorus]
It's only a lonely old Christmas tonight,
No laughter, no carols, no warm fire light.
But the peace of the season, it fills up my soul,
In the stillness, I'm whole—only a lonely old Christmas.

[Chorus]
It's only a lonely old Christmas tonight,
No laughter, no carols, no warm fire light.
But the peace of the season, it fills up my soul,
In the stillness, I'm whole—only a lonely old Christmas.
