The Stories That You Told

In a lifetime, for a moment, in a dream that can’t grow old
Not a thing will be forgotten, of the stories that you told
Every christmas, I still see you as the memories unfold
And for me, there is no ending to the stories that you told

We are never far apart
You touched my soul, you touched my heart
You made me smile, you gave me joy
You found the innocence I thought was gone
And when you told me to be brave, you gave me faith to carry on

I saw a star up in the sky
A guiding light that shows the way
To all the memories we’ve shared, they let me know you’re by my side
Evermore, on Christmas Day

You're a song that softly lingers
I can hear it when I pray
A refrain that keeps repeating, that will never fade away
We are never far apart
You touched my soul, you touched my heart

You gave me hope, you made me see
You showed me worlds I never knew before
And when you stood there unafraid, there was no darkness anymore
I saw the light behind your eyes
A shining wonder to behold
There was a wisdom in the way you found the truth that echoes on
In the stories that you told
