Lyrics

A Soldier’s Christmas Lament - F
Speed 8-2-05

The snow falls soft and slow without you (Kim only)
The bombs fall loud and long without you (Jake only)
I’m falling lonesome here without you (Kim & Jake)
Will I see you here on Christmas day? (Kim & Jake)

Enter Cello
Chorus:
I miss your kiss on Christmas morning (Kim & Jake)
I miss your kiss on Christmas afternoon (Kim & Jake)
I miss your kiss on Christmas evening (Kim & Jake)
Will I see you here on Christmas day? (Kim & Jake)

I can’t keep the fire going, Lord knows I’ve tried (Kim only)
We can’t put the fire out, Lord knows we’ve tried (Jake only)
I can’t stay warm without you, Lord I’ve tried (Kim & Jake)
Will I see you here on Christmas day? (Kim & Jake)

Chorus

The winter wind sends the sleep from my eyes (Kim only)
The desert sand sends the sleep from my eyes (Jake only)
My midnight dreams of you send sleep to my eyes (Kim & Jake)
Will I see you here on Christmas day? (Kim & Jake)

Goodnight, may the angels answer my prayers (Kim only)
Goodnight, may the angels answer my prayers (Jake only)
Goodnight, may the angels answer my prayers (Kim & Jake)
And I’ll see you here on Christmas day. (Kim & Jake)

Chorus:
I wish to kiss your lips on Christmas morn (Kim & Jake)
