lyrics

Looking out a frozen window
Another year comes and it goes
And this house has grown empty
Vacant tables, I’m not able to move on

Sitting down by the embers
Last December flickers faintly in my mind
Faces gone but remembered
My heart’s tender but surrenders by your side

Hanging cards up on the tree
I’m wrapped up in your company
You’re the sweetest gift I’ve ever known
A kinship found in harmony
Not tied by roots of family
We planted these seeds all on our own

I choose you
I choose you

Silver hair, deeper wrinkles
Ten more Christmases gone before you know
And our mums, now grandmothers
Tiny footprints weaving patterns in the snow

Hanging cards up on the tree
I’m wrapped up in your company
You’re the sweetest gift I’ve ever known
A kinship found in harmony
Not tied by roots of family
We planted these seeds all on our own

I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
I choose you
