Christmas Reunion

You know a lot of homes have Christmas reunions every year
 It's a time that we all look forward to kind of gathering around with our friends and loved ones
 Maybe in some homes this year, a dear face may be missing around the circle
 And if this be the case, our hearts go out to you
 Maybe this song will be an inspiration to you
 Maybe this song will cause you to stop and think
 What a wonderful thing it is to have a Christmas reunion when all the faces are present
 A congregation of friends and family is always a wonderful thought around Christmas
 Because it usually brings loved ones together
 And in thousands of homes, we look forward to a Christmas reunion
 Our Christmas reunion, always in the past
 Was something in our hearts so dear
 A link in the chain will be missing this year
 Our sorrow will be hard to bear
 The family will gather at home as before
 For that's what you'd want us to do
 Our Christmas reunion, this year will be sad
 Only God knows how much we'll miss you
 Your place by the fireside will look so alone
 With you not in your rocking chair
 We'll miss the sweet smile and the touch of your hand
 At our Christmas reunion this year
 We'll pray for the courage to smile and pretend
 That you're back with us again
 Our Christmas reunion, we'll have as before
 Your memory will never grow dim
 The family will gather at home as before
 For that's what you'd want us to do
 Our Christmas reunion, this year will be sad
 Only God knows how much we'll miss you
