Lyrics

The lake is frozen over
The trees are white with snow
And all around reminders of you
Are everywhere I go

It’s late and morning’s in no hurry
But sleep won’t set me free
I lie awake and try to recall
How your body felt beside me
When silence gets too hard to handle
And the night too long

And this is how I see you
In the snow on Christmas morning
Love and happiness surround you
As you throw your arms up to the sky
I keep this moment by and by
Oh how I miss you now, my love

Merry Christmas merry Christmas merry Christmas, my love

A sense of joy fills the air
And I daydream and I stare
Above the tree and I see
Your star up there

And this is how I see you
In the snow on Christmas morning
Love and happiness surround you
As you throw your arms up to the sky
I keep this moment by and by

Sarah says

“The concept of that song is: Yes, you’ve lost somebody but you can sit and feel really sorry for yourself and feel bad about the situation or you can remember them in their happiest moment. And that somehow brings levity to it and makes you feel a little lighter.”
– Canadian Press 2006
