Line by Line Meaning

A young mother remained, to place all of the toys,
A youthful mother stayed behind to carefully arrange all of the toys,


underneath the grand tree for all the girls and boys,
Beneath a towering tree so all the little boys and girls could enjoy,


they thought of christmas thats all they thought of...
With thoughts of nothing else but the joyous occasion of Christmas they were so fond of.

This version......this version.....is hauntingly beautiful and emotional..... it stirs up memories of Christmases past and the people and relatives who were present who are now passed away.

The sights....the bushes, covered in snow, illuminated by those big C-9 outdoor lights... the snow floating softly.... the soft glow of candelabras in the windows...

The smells.... turkey....cornbread dressing.....sugar cookies...

The sounds..... the Christmas Carols sung by various artists, from Jerry Vale to the Boston Pops, coming from the speakers on the old Zenith record player... the voices of the now absent family members.....

Nostalgia in tidal waves....😒

After all the gifts were wrapped and kids in bed,, my wife and I used to sit and watch the lights on the tree slowly change from one color to another and listen to this song. It was always a beautiful moment to reflect on the Christmases past and the Christmas to come. My beautiful wife passed away 2 weeks ago. I hope she is watching and listening as I am now to this lovely song and changing lights. Will never be the same but it is still a beautiful moment

David, this is my first Christmas without my wife. It is very difficult, praying you find some peace this evening.

Sorry for your loss. 😒 all of you. I was widowed in 1976 and still miss him.

@karensalser

My husband and I did the very same thing throughout our 30 years of marriage. It was a special part of our Christmas tradition. He died right before Christmas last year, and in his final moments I played this song. He was gone before it finished. It will never be the same to listen to again.

This touches my soul , it has to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard . Brings tears and goosebumps every single time I listen to it .

@susanhosey838

So so true. When I hear it, I just pause. It feels me with memories of my mother. It's a staple on my Christmas playlist.

@Kat-gx3se

I was lucky to have seen them 3 times over the years during the holidays. This is........my favorite as well and the violin solo at 3:37 is when my eyes begin to sting as they fill with tears.

Why you don’t have more thumbs up is beyond me. ❀❀
