ALWAYS SMILE FOR CHRISTMAS

Sitting watching old home movies

Stringing popcorn for the tree

I almost let it,  pass on by

But knew you'd be upset with me

You always smiled

Always smiled for Christmas

I wrapped up a couple presents

Things you always bought for me

New pajamas and fluffy socks

You said would hide my ugly feet

You made me laugh

I laughed every Christmas

~~~*~~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I could go on and on...

Listing your qualities

It's sad here, with you gone

But I can't let it get to me

Because you always smiled

Always smiled for Christmas

~~*~~

~~*~~

I baked all your favorite cookies

Just to circulate the smell

I knew that you, used to sneak a few

That you told the kids not to tell

You always teased

Teased us all at Christmas

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

I have forced myself to face the fact

That tears won't help

And they won't bring you back

I just have to make the best of it

For you...

I promise to...

Smile 

I will smile for Christmas

~~*~~

~*~

~~*~~

~~~*~~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I could go on and on...

Listing your qualities

It's sad here, with you gone

But I can't let it get to me

Because you always smiled

Always smiled for Christmas

~~*~~

~~*~~

For you I'll smile...

I will smile for Christmas

~~*~~
