VERSE 1.
Alone by the fire
Resting by the Christmas tree
Children's gifts were on their way
On snowy sleigh of dreams
And as I sat wondering
What gift I'd love to see
My hopes were quickly answered
They were there in front of me
CHORUS
They were the Spirits of Christmas
Faces in the mist
The Spirits of Christmas
The ones I've dearly missed
It's something I have prayed for
What I saw beside the tree
"Cause The Spirits of Christmas
Were right in front of me
VERSE 2
I saw the ones I loved
Heaven has taken home
Through my tears I saw
They were beautiful and young
There was my father and my mother
Who've been gone too many years
My season's wish has always been
To know that they were near
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
Every year I become a child
Through colored lights and snow
This year was a new adventure
Bringing my loved ones home
CHORUS
They were the Spirits of Christmas
Faces in the mist
The Spirits of Christmas
The ones I've dearly missed
It's something I have prayed for
What I saw beside the tree
"Cause the Spirits of Christmas
The Spirits of Christmas
The Spirits of Christmas
Were right in front of me
And they were smiling at me
