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

Really nice original Christmas song that speaks to the emotions that many of us go through during the holidays season. Great lyrics with a strong vocal performance. Production is considerate and minimal. Nicely done.

I was not expecting this song due to the fact Im doing Hip Hop reviews but WOW. This is a strong and powerful Ballad. I love the lyrics and the emotions behind your voice when you sing it. I love the way you put your personal life on display for the world to hear. I can see this song doing extremely well. The emotions it brings is something that only great music brings the listener. Congrats on this beauty of a song.

Good Christmas song for those who have lost the ones they love and miss especially at christmas! Good vocals and arrangement! Well done!

Hurry up Christmas so we can start blasting this thing proper! Heck, why wait, jump in and give it a listen. That way, you'll be prepared and know where to come for a great tune this holiday season. Has a classic, comfortable and approachable sound that still has me smiling.

Nicely sung. This recording is a very nice effort.
