When you're not here, the night is silent The bed is empty, no one to hold The child is asleep and all is still An emptiness pervading the air A time to clear my thoughts, feel my heart As it is with and yet without you I know that soon with morning you'll come It will be Christmas, like no other You'll be weary, for you've worked all night You're working for me, our family I have to say to you, my husband That I like the changes that I've seen The ones from you and the ones from me We can celebrate our forgiveness We can look back and smile, knowing that We did not continue as we were We have been brave and grown together We will continue forward, onward You have grown from a boy to a man And as a woman, I start to bloom That we have had only each other To keep us through this trial together It seems miraculous and yet best Only together we pass the test |
