🌕🌔🌓🌒🌑

December of '04, we got a Yuletide show
The miracle of manna, an inch of snow
It didn't melt all day
We used a trashcan for a sleigh
And we still talk about it

Here at decades older, I am less impressed
Seems the blessing only comes with bitterness
Bi-annually, at least, the pipes and asphalt will freeze
And we'll still talk about it

If I wish for anything this year
It would be a bigger house
With walls spaced far enough apart
To keep my loved ones out the dark
When the power grid goes out

'Cause I keep you in my heart
Yeah, I keep you even when we are apart
And I'd keep you out of the dark
If I only could

All that you believe in can survive this one
A fairy only keeps her wings if you cheer them on
Well, it's hard to find a star
In all this godforsaken dark
So I'll believe in you

Sure, the days are colder and the nights are long
But don't you worry, I don't think the magic's gone
We could light a fire
We could lift our voices higher
We can believe in you

If I wish for anything this year
It would be a crystal ball
Or the winning numbers on the wall
Wouldn't want a dime or dollar
Only power to change anything at all

'Cause I keep you in my heart
I keep you even when we are apart
I'd keep you out of the dark
If I only could

Yeah, I keep you in my heart
I keep you even when we're worlds apart
I will keep you out of the dark
