I think of loved ones who’ve passed away
 And I pray their 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
 Sometimes I wonder its them instead of me
 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 cause I know
 There is peace on earth for every heart to find
 And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

 I think of families, 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 cause I know
 There is peace on earth for every heart to find
 And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

 I think of Mary and the virgin birth
 And I’m amazed at how much God thinks we’re worth
 That He would send His only Son to die
 And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

 Tears of thankfulness, tears of hope
 I cry tears of joy at Christmas cause I know
 There is peace on earth for every heart to find
 And sometimes Christmas makes me cry
