A Picture of You and a Candy Cane - Crow Taran
Christmas, remember
That was long ago
In a past lost in snow
Make it from head to toe
Nothing but a candy cane below
The snow falls softly, the world a glow
Twinkling lights and the mistletoe
But here I sit by the fire's warm light
Holding a picture from that Christmas night
You were nothing but
You smiled so bright
The candy cane you held felt so right
Though the years have passed and you're far away
That moment lives on every Christmas day
I don't have you in my life anymore
But that picture of you and a candy cane I still adore
Though the love we had melted like snow
That Christmas we shared is a warmth I still know
I've walked through winter, faced the cold
Learned to move on, or so I've been told
Yet every December I see your face
Frozen in time in that sacred place
The tree we trimmed, the songs we sang
The echoes of joy that the season rang
I feel it all in that picture I see
It's a memory, but it still feels like we
I don't have you in my life anymore
But that picture of you and a candy cane I still adore
Though the love we had melted like snow
That Christmas we shared is a warmth I still know
I've walked through winter, faced the cold
Learned to move on, or so I've been told
Yet every December I see your face
Frozen in time in that sacred place
The tree we trimmed, the songs we sang
The echoes of joy that the season rang
I feel it all in that picture I see
It's a memory, but it still feels like we
I've found peace in the years that have gone
Learned to love, for life will carry on
But a piece of my heart will always remain
In that picture of you and a candy cane
I don't have you in my life anymore
But that picture of you and a candy cane I still adore
Though the love we had melted like snow
That Christmas we shared is a warmth I still know
So here I sit as the fire light fades
Another Christmas, another decade
And though I've moved on, I'll never complain
For I'll always have you and that candy cane
I may not hold you my dear, but I still pull out that picture each year
We might have driven each other insane, but I'll always have that picture of you and a candy cane
The candy cane
