should have been me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In days of old was a story told of a weathered man On dusty roads and on nights so cold did he roam He traveled far, followed every star, taking paths unknown So on Christmas day he would find his way back home He'd find his home [Verse 2] With spirits frayed, the eyes would fade on this weathered man Though weak and blind, still he walked the winding road An orphaned lass took his hand at last, so he wouldn't stray But at his side, for him she cried on the way So sad, she prayed [Chorus 1] When Christmas comes, may this man be found And his heart no longer be lonely Let lantеrns hung and carols sung bring him home To an open door and a warm embracе And a gentle smile on a friendly face Let him find peace and love For once when Christmas comes [Verse 3] They reached a place, an empty space where a family lived And man and wife took the weathered life in their care They put to bed his tired head and watched him lay Not knowing he'd no longer see Christmas day They knelt and prayed [Chorus 2] When Christmas comes, may this man be found And his heart no longer be lonely Let lanterns hung and carols sung bring him home To an open door and a warm embrace And a gentle smile on a friendly face Let them find peace and love For once when Christmas comes [Bridge] Travelers all are we, seeking the places where love must be Knocking on every door, yearning to find where our hearts are free Christmas is everywhere, in the faces we long to see Christmas is ours to share, no need to search all about us Love's all around [Verse 4] Now I know, as the story shows of this weathered man Ever blind, we will never find our home Till we see love will always be staring at our face Then can we be so peacefully on our way And so I pray [Chorus 3] When Christmas comes, may this man be found And his heart no longer be lonely Let lanterns hung and carols sung bring him home To an open door and a warm embrace And a gentle smile on a friendly face Let us find peace and love For once when Christmas comes [Outro] Each day is dear, look far and near Christmas is here! Christmas is here
