The Carpenters - Yesterday Once More (INCLUDES LYRICS)

Silent Night.

A song from the yesteryears drifted out from the internet radio, reminds me of the CD player that I first heard this song on.

And the good times that I had

Makes today seem rather sad

So much has changed

Do the songs born of nostalgia really melt the years away?

I doubt.

If anything, they only emphasise the years that have flown by, the laughter that has disappeared beyond the horizons, and the tears that have dried, much like the rain on the windscreen, that was the most interesting part of a car ride when we were young.

When we were young.

Christmas is a season of love and giving. Also, it is a time to reflect on the minutes, the hours, the days that have slipped past us this year, and take stock of our givings and misgivings; on the opportunities earned, and the chances lost; on the love that we've kept, and the love that we've lost.

Merry Christmas, to those who love me, and to those whom I love.

If Santa could deliver my wishes to all of you, you would receive warmth in your sleep, and sunshine in your lives.
