If Only I Could Feel Christmas Cheer

Took a walk on cold, dark, streets to search for a silent night

Then the rain came pouring as if to add to my plight

No children came a calling no loved ones to invite

Trying to find solace in the neighbor’s decoration lights,

Where was my Savior on his birthday?

I felt like the world had gone astray

Remembering when my children laughed and played

Trying to count my blessings so I didn’t feel so dismayed,

That night seemed so incredibly strange

When sounds of Santa’s sleigh bells were out of range

How I wished that my heart would change

Recalling a wife who is now estranged,

I thought that I’d feel Christmas cheer

When I used to have family and friends so near

Can’t hide the emptiness with smoke and mirrors

Can’t numb the feeling over a few beers,

The streets were empty as I walked alone

Where was the Yule Tide Cheer in this forbidden zone?

A man without love and on his own

In an indifferent world with a heart of stone,

Where is a child’s delight in the midst of Noel?

The candle lit beauty and the magic Christmas spell

Good luck to all of you and I will wish you farewell

Leaving all of you to your own personal hell.
