lyrics

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 amiss
And my mistletoe will accept a kiss
From those who fear to tread my door
And remind me of the times before

My savings are all in the poet
To cheer them as they carve the roast
I may not have their luxury feed
But 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 one
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 times 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 one
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)
