William and Rose
Rose sit on the settee
Wearing clothes from another day
They sit close together two halves of a whole
Watching the grandchildren play
The lights of their memories shine in their eyes
As the young ones tumble free
It's bitter and sweet as they recognize
All the old songs 'round the tree
Love comes home for
Christmas
Love comes home again
Love comes home for
Christmas
Every now and then
Little faces believing
Make
Rose start to rain
And
Willie takes her hand
It's getting late and the little ones yawn
They're ready for
Christmas day
William and
Rose by the light of the embers
Kiss them along their way
Memories of children so long ago
All grown up and fighting the fight
But
William an d
Rose sit on the settee
Their hearts are so full tonight
Love comes home for
Christmas
Love comes home again
Love comes home for
Christmas
Every now and then
Little faces believing
Make
Rose start to rain
And
Willie takes her hand
