The Song
Story.
This is a song that involves the Christmas season, but it's not a typical Christmas song. It's called Christmas with A Side of Grief. This was written for those among us who lost someone they dearly loved and would have to experience Christmas staring at that one empty chair so longingly and painfully.
This is a very simply arranged song. It doesn't pretend to be grand or eloquent. This is just a girl, playing the piano, singing while trying to make sense of grief.
This is the 10th and final song that will wrap up my album called A Side of Grief.

Lyrics.
Oh, Holy Night
Where have you taken love?
Late come the lights
Won’t be dark for very long
Sorrows they’ve come
But sorrows won’t seem to go
Why can’t the carols
Drown out the blues
Like they used to
Soon there’ll be dancing
Maybe not today
No, there’s no hurry, Love
It’s gonna be okay
When the dust settles at Christmas morn
What ifs and could’ves lay on the floor
When the lights aren’t fading
But they’re not shining bright
Christmas came with a side of grief tonight
Oh, Silent Night
Where has the laughter gone?
Will you bring back a smile?
Will it be enough to carry on?
The morning will come
The longing will turn to hope
And there’ll be joy
In sorrow groves
For a broken soulc
Soon there’ll be dancing
Maybe for a day
No, there’s no hurry, Love
It’s gonna be okay
When the dust settles at Christmas morn
What ifs and could’ves lay on the floor
When the lights aren’t fading
But they’re not shining bright
Christmas came with a side of grief tonight
A side of grief tonight
A side of grief tonight
