[Intro]
Christmas lights shine bright, but I’m lost in the night,
A call from the past, brings tears to my sight.
\n[Verse 1]
In a cell made of steel, the air felt so cold,
Thoughts of home and family, stories yet untold.
December came knocking, the end of the year,
But a voice on the line broke the silence, my dear.
\n[Pre-Chorus]
"Brian, come home, it’s time for our fight,
I’m fading away, can’t hold on tight.
On Christmas day, I’ll call once more,
Just know in my heart, you’re my forever door."
\n[Chorus]
So I packed my bags, took a chance on a prayer,
"Daddy, I’m coming, I’ll always be there."
Holding on to memories, so precious, so dear,
Life’s cruel twist took me far from the cheer.
\n[Verse 2]
Time moved like shadows, I rushed to his side,
But the clock chimed too fast, I can't hide from the tide.
Thoughts of tomorrow, dreams held tight,
But fate had a plan, and it wasn’t polite.
\n[Pre-Chorus]
"Brian, come home, I need you near me,
Make me a promise, don’t let this be dreary.
Let’s laugh and let’s talk, while the lights still glow,
With love shining bright, just want you to know."
\n[Chorus]
So I packed my bags, took a chance on a prayer,
"Daddy, I’m coming, I’ll always be there."
Holding on to memories, so precious, so dear,
Life’s cruel twist took me far from the cheer.
\n[Bridge]
February came crashing, the news hit us hard,
A goodbye that echoed, we’re left with a shard.
As I welded my dreams, in a moment so dire,
His voice filled the air, lifted me higher.
\n[Chorus]
So I packed my bags, took a chance on a prayer,
"Daddy, I’m coming, I’ll always be there."
Holding on to memories, so precious, so dear,
Life’s cruel twist took me far from the cheer.
\n[Outro]
Now each Christmas I listen, the love never wanes,
In whispers and echoes, his spirit remains.
With lights in the window, and songs in my heart,
I hold his memory close, we’ll never be apart.
