I think of loved ones who've passed away And I pray they're resting in a better place I think of memories of years gone by And sometimes Christmas makes me cry I think of soldiers across the sea Sometimes I wonder why it's them instead of me But for my freedom they give their lives And sometimes Christmas makes me cry Tears of faithfulness, tears of hope I cry tears of joy at Christmas because I know There is peace on earth for every heart to find And sometimes Christmas makes me cry I think of family, I think of home And say a prayer for those who spend this time alone Cause love can reach out into a silent night And that's why Christmas makes me cry Tears of faithfulness, tears of hope I cry tears of joy at Christmas because I know There is peace on earth for every heart to find And sometimes Christmas makes me cry I think of Mary and the virgin birth And I'm amazed by how much God thinks we are worth That He would send His only Son to die And sometimes Christmas makes me cry Tears of faithfulness and tears of hope I cry tears of joy at Christmas because I know There is peace on earth for every heart to find And sometimes Christmas makes me Oh, sometimes Christmas makes me Christmas makes me cry Christmas makes me cry
