This day a year a-go, he was rolling in the snow
6m 5 4 1With a younger brother in his father's yard
Christmas break, a time for touching home, the heart of all he'd known
5 4 5And leaving was so hard_________
1 5Three thousand miles a-way, now he's . working Christmas Day
Making double time for the minding of the store
5 6mWell he always said, he'd make it on his own
2mHe's spending Christmas Eve a-lone
First Christmas a-way from home
She's standing by the train station, .. pan-handling for change
6m 5 4 1Four more dollars buys a decent meal and a room
5 6m 2mLooks like the Sally Ann place after all, in a crowded sleeping hall
That echoes like a tomb_______
1 5But it's warm and clean and free, and there are worse places to be
6m 5 4 1At least it means no beating from her Dad
And if she cries be-cause it's Christmas Day
2mShe hopes that it won't show
4 5 1First Christmas a-way from home
BRIDGE ONE:

In the morning, they get prayers, then it's crafts and tea down-stairs
Then a-nother meal back in his little room
5 6m 2mHoping maybe that "the boys" will think to phone be-fore the day is gone
5 4 5Well, it's best they do it soon________
When the "old girl" passed a-way, he fell a-part more every day
6m 5 4 1Each had always kept the other pretty well
5 6mBut the kids all said the nursing home was best
Cause he couldn't live a-lone
4 5 1First Christmas a-way from home
BRIDGE TWO:
In the common room they've got the biggest tree /
5 1/ And it's huge and cold and lifeless
4 5 /Not like it ought to be____, and the lit-up flashing Santa Claus on top
It's not that same old silver star, you once made for your own
