Christmas Makes Me Cry Lyrics - Matthew West

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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
