DECEMBER

DECEMBER


Well, it's finally in December
You're still many miles away
It goes without saying
It's almost Christmas Day;
Children come with cookies
Carolers sing to me
And I light some candles
But I have no Christmas tree.

I hear pretty Christmas songs
That make me think of you
And when I go out walking
I use those old snow-shoes;
It seems you're there beside me
If only in my heart
And tear drops fall quickly
Like the day we had to part.

Sometimes I even smell you
And feel your breath on mine
I reach out to touch you
For only you I pine;
I look at your photograph
And long for you so much
Just to see your dark eyes
And to feel your touch.

So Santa if you're listening
Please bring him back to me
You know how much I love him
Oh, how I'd love to see---
The love in his brown eyes
As bright as the firelog
And I can't wait until the day
I get back my dog!!
