We're Still Here Lyrics

Glowing lights bring out the forest green

Of our favorite family Christmas tree

Ornaments hang heavy, high and low

And spell out who we were as kids so long ago

Its all a blur

Like Christmas Eve

Those times once sure, now seem make-believe

I once was a girl who loved to read

He once was a boy playing in the creek

They used to talk once but now they don't speak much

There once was a boy who loved to laugh

And one who played games whenever you asked

Another who still had plenty of time to spare

They're all gone but we're still here

We're wrapped up in our own shells

Singing the song of ourselves

Du du du du du

Du du du du du

Du du du du du

Sweet hot chocolate, bitter to the taste

Hollow silence while Christmas carols play

Scattering far in our anxious haste

We can never seem to all be in one place

Your eyes are lost

behind a screen

And I can't stop myself from remembering

I once was a girl who loved to read

He once was a boy playing in the creek

They used to talk once but now they don't speak much

There once was a boy who loved to laugh

And one who played games whenever you asked

Another who still had plenty of time to spare

They're all gone but we're still here

Tie up your pain with a bow

And hope that no-one will know

Your presence is the best gift

If only I could get a peek of it

I once was a girl who loved to read

He once was a boy playing in the creek

They used to talk once but now they don't speak much

There once was a boy who loved to laugh

And one who played games whenever you asked

Another who still had plenty of time to spare

They're all gone but we're still here
