The Year that Christmas Never Came

Dr BLT

words and music by Bruce L. Thiessen, aka Dr BLT © 2013 Frosty Rock Records

Last night I had a dream of you

the kind of dream that made me blue

the year the snow never fell on the ground

the year the choir did not make a sound

chorus:

it was the year that Christmas never came

there were no church bells 

only callin' your name

the year that baby

you walked away

was the year

that Christmas never came

that year turned dark

as winter told cold

there was no Magi

Incense myrrh or gold

the year you broke my heart in two

the year my Christmas turned so blue

(chorus)

but you could bring Christmas back this year

if under my tree, darlin' you would appear

you could bring me comfort and cheer

you could bring back Christmas this year

Last night I had a dream of you

the kind of dream that made me blue

the year the snow never fell on the ground

the year the choir did not make a sound

(chorus)
