2013 Musical Countdown to Christmas: Wintersong

I really debated about sharing this particular song; it's hauntingly beautiful but unquestionably sad...  But in honor of my Mother who has been without her loving companion (my Dad) for almost 20 years, I share this song and pray that anyone who is without a loved one this week may be comforted.
 

"Wintersong"
 
The trees are white with snow
And all around
Reminders of you
Are everywhere I go

It's late and morning's in no hurry
But sleep won't set me free
I lie awake and try to recall
How your body felt beside me
When silence gets too hard to handle
And the night too long

And this is how I see you
In the snow on Christmas morning
Love and happiness surround you
As you throw your arms up to the sky
I keep this moment by and by

Oh I miss you now, my love
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas, my love

Sense of joy fills the air
And I daydream and I stare
Up at the tree and I see
Your star up there

And this is how I see you
In the snow on Christmas morning
Love and happiness surround you
As you throw your arms up to the sky
I keep this moment by and by
