If Christmas Could Talk

Snow on the sidewalks, lights in the trees

Old songs on the radio, slow memories

People rush past with their arms full of things

But something feels louder in what no one’s saying

There’s laughter in windows, shadows on walls

Empty chairs at the table, names we still call

The year left its marks, yeah, it took its toll

But tonight there’s a feeling you can’t outgrow

If you listen close in the quiet tonight

There’s more than bells in the air

If Christmas could talk, it’d say slow down

You’re already enough right here, right now

You don’t need gold or perfect days

The best things never came wrapped anyway

If Christmas could talk, it’d say hold on tight

To the ones who made it through this year alive

Love is the gift that never gets lost

If Christmas could talk

Old photographs folded in worn-out hands

Kids growing faster than anyone planned

Same living room, but the years feel new

Every scar tells a story you lived through

Some dreams broke quietly, some stayed strong

Some prayers took time, some felt gone

But look around at the light you made

Out of every dark December day

There’s a warmth you can’t buy or replace

It’s been here the whole time

If Christmas could talk, it’d say slow down

You’re already enough right here, right now

You don’t need gold or perfect days

The best things never came wrapped anyway

If Christmas could talk, it’d say hold on tight

To the ones who made it through this year alive

Love is the gift that never gets lost

If Christmas could talk

[Bridge] (soft, then building)

It’d say remember who you were

Before the world got loud

Before you learned to measure worth

In numbers breaking down

It’d say forgive yourself

For everything you’re not

You made it here, you made it through

That means more than you thought

If Christmas could talk, it’d say look around

This moment is holy, don’t miss it now

The magic was never the lights or trees

It was every heart that chose to believe

If Christmas could talk, it’d say you belong

Even when the nights felt cold and long

Love is the gift that outlasts the cost

If Christmas could talk

[Outro] (quiet, intimate)

So slow down

You’re already home

If Christmas could talk
