Christmas Morning (I'm Missing You)

Original song, just written. This is the one take demo recording I just did. (People sleeping and I only had a minute or three to get the idea down.) I hope downer songs are okay for the YuleFest.

It's Christmas morning and I'm sitting here
Just wondering how I lost one more year
I open a bottle and drink one more round
I say, 'here's to you' but I don't hear a sound

I'm wrapped up in memories
The present is gone
There's no reason to be of good cheer
The milk has gone sour
The cookies are stale
The only gift, a six-pack of beer
It's true
I'm missing you

The snow starts to fallin', it's gatherin' round
Each snowflake a witness as I slowly drown
I dig out your letters, but I just can't see
These teardrops are blurrin' those old memories

I'm wrapped up in memories
The present is gone
There's no reason to be of good cheer
The milk has gone sour
The cookies are stale
The only gift, a six-pack of beer
Yeah, it's true
I'm missing you

*deleted third verse*
The last time you called me I was a drunk
When I heard your voice I sobered right up
You said that you loved me then you wished me the best
Said you'd remarried, I didn't catch all the rest

Nice one, TC. I enjoyed that.

Heart breaking but well done.
Very impressive, especially for the time you put in to it.

We love downer songs for the Yulefest and this one is just perfect. I love the combination of raw acoustic and vox and could listen to this all night. Nice one TC.
