1. [Eb]Thinking about the holiday
[Dbsus2]And the sands of time
Years [Fm]pass like pages [Fm/G]of old family
[G]Photos in my [Cm7]mind[Ddim]
[Eb]Faces and the places
How [Dbsus2]Decembers used to [Ab/Db]be
A little [Fm7]loneliness and [Ddim]longing
It [Cm7]rises up in [Cm7/Hb]me [Fm7/Ab]
Ref.: [Eb]Sometime [/F]every c[/G]hristmas
Can't say [Ab]where or [/G]when or [Eb/Hb]why
But some [G]moment or some [Cm7]memory
T[Ab]akes me [/Hb]by sur[Dbadd9]prise
[Fm7#5]Something in the [Eb/G]season
[Ab]Wells up [G]in my [Cm7]eye
Sometime [Ab]every christmas[Abm]
I cry
[Cm] M[Gm/Eb] e [Eb/Hb]z i[Dbadd9] h[Hb]ra
2. Might [Eb]be some choir of children [Dbsus2]singing 'silent night'
Or [Fm]driving through my [Fm/G]hometown seeing
[G]Main street dressed in [Cm7]lights[Ddim]
[Eb]Maybe that old video when I [Dbsus2]hear my granddad's [Ab/Db]prayer
[Fm7]Or my mother's [Ddim]living room
With my [Cm7]father's empty [Cm7/Hb]chair [Fm7/Ab]
Ref.: [Eb]Sometime [/F]every c[/G]hristmas
Can't say [Ab]where or [/G]when or [Eb/Hb]why
But some [G]moment or some [Cm7]memory
T[Ab]akes me [/Hb]by sur[Dbadd9]prise
[Fm7#5]Something in the [Eb/G]season
[Ab]Wells up [G]in my [Cm7]eye
Sometime [Ab]every christmas[Abm]
I cry
[Eb]/: M[Ab]e [Hb]z i[Gm]hra :/ [Cm] m[Eb/Hb] e[Db]z [Fm7]ihr [Ddima] [G]a
Coda: And I [Cm7]read Luke chapter [Cm7/Hb]two
How [Fm9]God came to pur[Fm/Ab]sue
A [Gm]world in [Fm]need
Someone like [G]me/Ab
Ref.: [Eb]Sometime [/F]every c[/G]hristmas
Can't say [Ab]where or [/G]when or [Eb/Hb]why
But some [G]moment or some [Cm7]memory
T[Ab]akes me [/Hb]by sur[Dbadd9]prise
[Fm7#5]Something in the [Eb/G]season
[Ab]Wells up [G]in my [Cm7]eye
Sometime [Ab]every christmas[Abm]
I cry
[Cm7] M[Gm/Eb] e [Eb/Hb]z i[Dbadd9] h[Hb]ra a[C]
