HOUSE AND HOME The chill of Winter's icy blast Brings the Ghost of Christmas Past At this time of family Will my loved ones think of me? A friendly visit never goes a-miss And and my mistletoe will accpet a kiss From those who fear to tread my door And remind me of the times before My savings are all in the post To cheer them as they carve the roast I may not have their luxury feed Bit all their love is all I need And when the chill is in my bones I may not be here when next Christmas comes And when all is said and done Will you love me when I'm gone Well how are you? Long time no see I hear you're married with a child of three Maybe one day I'll meet him yet And we'll share the love that we have left The biscuits are a kind return For all the years that i have yearned To be a full part of your lives But no charity can buy my pride And when the chill is in my bones I may not be here when next Christmas comes And when all is said and done Will you love me when I'm gone? And as I sit here all alone I may not be here when next Christmas comes When the Ghost of Christmas Future calls Will you cherish house and home (Gary Miller)
