Christmas
Lori Carson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hope you're not disappointed
In the way things turned out
Can we be starry-eyed
Still lovers after all this?

Love was hard to find
But we have
Love was hard to find
Wish I could un-do the past

Or free you from it
But I'll never hurt you baby
Not like that
Don't stop believing in the future

Or yourself
I don't know why it happened
But it did and I'd walk
Backwards through fire to love you

It doesn't take less my love
It doesn't take less my love
To stay when you want wo run
To open and open and open and open

If I said all of this
With just the right inflection
Could we go on from here?
Love was hard to find

But we have
Love was hard to find




But we have
Love was hard to find
