I think of loved ones who´ve passed away
And I pray they´re resting in a better place
I think of memories of years gone by
And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

I think of soldiers across the sea
And sometimes I wonder why it´s them instead of me
That for my freedom they give their lives
And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

Tears of thankfulness
Tears of hope
I cry tears of joy at Christmas
Because I know
There is peace on Earth
For every heart to find
And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

I think of family, I think of home
And say a prayer for those who spend this time alone
‘Cause love can reach out into a silent night
And that´s why Christmas makes me cry

Tears of thankfulness
Tears of hope
I cry tears of joy at Christmas
Because I know
There is peace on Earth
For every heart to find
And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

I think of Mary and a virgin birth
And I´m amazed by how much God thinks we are worth
That He would send His only son to die
And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

Tears of thankfulness
Tears of hope
I cry tears of joy at Christmas
Because I know
There is peace on Earth
For every heart to find
And sometimes Christmas makes me cry
Christmas makes me cry
