Itsuka No Merry Christmas

Every December the lights they shine so bright
Once again the celebration begins
Everywhere I go I feel the energy
They ignite these warm feelings within

Caught up in the rush of all my Christmas shopping
I’m searching for a special gift from me to you
Walking to the station I’m thinking of you
The day is done, now I’m on my way home

Always forever, just take hold of my hand
and I know that we will walk this path together
Shining so brightly for all the world to see
We can take all our dreams and make them reality

All that I treasure, all the things you give to me
All the stars in the heavens up above us
I know that they’ll always live deep down inside me
Everything that I feel for you this Merry Christmas

Walk from the station, I feel my heartbeat race
For I know that very soon I will be home
You greet me at door, a kiss a short embrace
You’re so busy with the preparations

In the twilight hour as we exchange our presents
You smile and say you love me and my feelings soar
Stare into each others eyes, it’s so clear to me
I’ve found my home, you know it makes me love you more

Always forever, just take hold of my hand
And I know that we will walk this path together
Shining so brightly for all the world to see
We can take all our dreams and make them reality

I still remember the day you made me see
that a life without your love it has no meaning
And now that I know what your love means to me
Through the years I’ll be wishing you a Merry Christmas

On that December night, underneath the moonlight
I promised you that we’d never ever be apart
Swept up in the moment I broke down and cried
The pain of love from the bottom of my heart

And as the years go by, each passing Christmas
I reflect on what life’s given me
The gentle snow fall, the look of love in your eyes
Times together, my sweet memories

Christmas Eve

All alone I watch the quiet rain
Wonder if it’s gonna snow again
Silent night holy night

I was praying
You’d be here with me
What it used to be
Silent night holy night
For Christmas

Somewhere far away
The sleigh bells ring
I remember
When we used to sing
Silent night holy night

I keep you inside me
Oh the truth is unspoken
So my heart won’t be broken
On Christmas

They lit the trees
Along with avenue
Twinkling silver with a touch of blue
Silent night holy night

Carroll, Around Christmas

Oh the christmas carols play on
Once again the season will come
Spirit of the holiday is so strong
But will it supply the answers for us?

Oh the christmas carols play on
But they play for somebody else
Searching for a remedy for so long
A new future of the two of us

Not long ago
I was so lost and confuse
And I tried reaching out for you
Something was wrong
And I can’t find the reason
You’re not here, you’re so far away

Don’t you know the time has come, it just can’t be ignored
All the hurt, the pain, I just can’t take it anymore

Oh the christmas carols play on
Things we did, they can’t be undone
Thinking back to a time not long ago
Things were better for the two of us

Oh the christmas carols play on
Searching for answers on my own
Someday we will find what we’re looking for
A new future for the both of us

I feel you near
And your voice calls out to me
Temptation of your warm embrace
Oh but I know
Gotta fight these distraction
Gonna find what I really need

Could it be we need to take sometime to be alone
Maybe I will start to see more clearly when you’re gone

Oh the Christmas carol play on
But they play for somebody else
Searching for a remedy for so long
A new future for the two of us

Oh the Christmas carol play on
Reminisce I sing one more song
Moving on but we never will know
What the future holds for both of us

Oh the Christmas carol play on
Just for you I sing one last song
Moving on but we never will know
What the future holds for both of us

Siroi Koibitotachi (White Lovers)

As the light of day begins to fade I feel the falling snow
The sadness that I feel within my heart, the pain, how it grows
Through the tears the light goes dim I struggle in the dark
The seasons slowly pass me by, all I can do is sit and watch

I can feel the chill out on the street, I see my breath turn cold
The wind it whistles through the fading leaves, I’m lost and alone
At the old brick station they’re waiting by the gate
For someone who will never come, oh no they’re never coming home

And through the tears I hear a melody calling out a lover’s serenade
The falling snow, my memories, my favorite love song
I feel the beating of my heart so strong let’s take the time to celebrate
Tonight the tears they fill my eyes for our white love

Deep inside my dream I’m traveling upon the distant shore
So softly I can hear the church bells ring, a sound I adore
Suddenly from up above a vision heavenly
And now I know that everything, everything will be alright

And through it hurts me to the core I gotta try to flight this loneliness
Somewhere the fire of true love burns deep inside of me
I’ve got to keep the passion strong don’t ever let it go, lover’s foreverness
I know that one day I will see a pure new white love

And through the tears I hear a melody calling out a lover’s serenade
So dear to me, I won’t forget my favorite love song
And once again I’m on the path to love let’s take the time to celebrate
This Winter tears they fill my eyes for our white love
Forever white love
My love

It’s the sadness in my heart whenever we’re apart
Tears of joy and pain, oh my love

Winter Song

The dusk is gaining ground, lights flicker all around
And as I walk the lonely streets, the snow is falling ever faster
Looking to the sky, I wonder where you are
The way you came into my life, filling everyday with laughter

Almost blinded by the snowflakes on my face
Despite the chill I feel the warmth of your embrace
Intoxicated now, I stagger like a fool
I feel that surely I could float away

I want to show you everything I see, the way I’m feeling
I need to be with you tonight, to hold your arms around me
My love for you is deeper than the deepest snows of winter
The greatest gift I ever had was you

The sparkling crystal world, this magic winter land
If I could share it all with you, and make-believe forever after

Like a blanket over everything in sight
In the hush I hear the silence of the night
The snow has covered all the streets we walked along
I hope you still remember me tonight

Can’t remember feeling this way before
Do you know, do you understand what’s going through my heart
Well the way that I love you, I just hope you feel it too
Tonight wherever you are

I want to show you everything I see, the way I’m feeling
I need to be with you tonight, to hold your arms around me
My love for you in deeper than the deepest snows of winter
The greatest gift I ever had was you
The greatest gift I ever had was you

This is my song for you

Silent Eve

Gently it falls
the white, white snow
Stop and stare at the scenery
Sounds in the street, the Christmas tree
I recall things we did long ago

Although time’s been good to me
Very good to me
Been in and out of love
But why on this night so dear to me
You’re not here, don’t know where you are

Although we said goodbye, so many reasons why
But sometimes there are reasons that you cannot see
Could not escape all my insecurity, all around darkness over me

Promised to be just friends but we know in the end
that’s just a fantasy that never will come true
Wanna let you know I won’t come between you two
I’ll be strong I’ll get over you

I believe deep in my heart
I can do what is right for me
Oh but I know I lose control, sometimes love is a burden you bear

Think back all the memories, things that used to be
I know I must be strong
Just as summer leads into the fall, now it’s time for me to move on

Although we said goodbye, so many reasons why
But sometimes there are reasons that you cannot see
A Christmas card, picture and memory
Even now they’re calling out to me

Although I try to smile, just for one day I cry
I know there’s nothing I can do to make it right
I know happiness one day will return to me
Pray for me on this silent night

I know happiness one day will return to me
Pray for me on this silent night
