Leavin’ me alone with ghosts of Christmas past…”

Memories of Christmas past can rekindle loneliness at losing a loved one with feelings that often feel harshest and coldest during the Holiday Season. This powerful new country standard from The Front Porch Country Band plows fresh earth, invoking all of the personal pain and passion that can rumble just underneath the season’s lights and colorful exteriors that glisten so brightly this time of the year. This is the other side of Christmas. Few of us have been abandoned by the one we love on Christmas Eve. But anyone will be touched by this moving original composition which poignantly captures the loss of unrequited Christmas dreams – and Christmas dreamers. This special release combines two favorites from THE CHRISTMAS ALBUM.

SONG LYRICS:

I’ll remember you this Christmas
And I’m wonderin’ – will you remember, too
All the Christmas dreams we shared together
If only dreamin’ could make all those dreams come true

But there’s a Christmas waitin’ somewhere
There’s just one thing left for me to do
I’m gonna send it far – to your Christmas Star
One last time I’ll say it – Merry Christmas to you

(transition...)

I never dreamed last Christmas Eve come Christmas you’d be gone
Leavin’ me alone with ghosts of Christmas past
But here I am dreamin’ dreams again inside this big old home
Where I never dreamed last Christmas was our last
Was our last

No, I never dreamed
Last Christmas was our last

The candles in the window still light your way back home
To packages still wrapped beneath the tree
The little star is growin’ dim the needles all are gone
And everything has changed since Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve

No, I never dreamed
Last Christmas was our last

Cause you never said come Christmas you’d be leavin’
Ain’t it funny how the seasons come and go
Just one year ago today you turned and walked away
All you left behind were footprints in the snow
In the snow

All you left behind
Were your footprints In the snow

I guess love ain’t what it seems we just live on Christmas dreams
And I’m dreamin’ now rememberin’ Christmas past
When I never dreamed last Christmas was our last
Was our last

No, I never dreamed
Last Christmas was our last

I just never dreamed
Last Christmas was our last
Was our last

No, I never dreamed
Last Christmas was our last
