One final song of grief to bookend this painful year in which I lost too many.
lyrics
Now with the colder months approaching,
We’ll come visit you
Keep you company on Christmas Eve
Maybe read a verse or two
Oh Lord, I know
It’s coming soon
I hear you say
He’s coming back for you
Oh Lord, I know
It’s coming soon
I hear you say
He’s coming back for you
Now with the colder months approaching,
We’ll come visit you
Bring you flowers on Christmas Eve
Find the stone that your name is etched into
Under mounds of leaves
And a layer of snow
Where we laid you down
Just months ago
The way I heard you speak
Last I was in your room
I think that you were ready
Ready to go
Oh Lord, I know
It’s coming soon
I hear you say
He’s coming back for you
Oh Lord, I know
It’s coming soon
I hear you say
He’s coming back for you
