****************************************
This is song wrote after Mr. Larry say we should to post Christmas words. When I was little girl I have pen-cousin in America who was paper boy. This means he deliver house to newspapers, NOT that he a boy made of paper. He tell me story about house with gold star in window and what it means. Very sad story, especially at Christmas time. We hope such story is no repeat, but sad that we know it is repeat. And so I write words.
Mr. teecee so very kind to write and play most beautiful music. Ms. Jamie then amaze us with her pretty vocal sing. We are honor to be part of song, and we please that you like it. We also thank Ms. Jamie for pretty picture she make for song. And we thank Songramp people who we ask to listen to early version on Mr. teecee page private ~ Angyalka
"THE STARS' NOT ON THE TREE THIS YEAR"
LYRICS BY ANGYALKA OSZKAR
MUSIC BY TEECEE
VOCALS BY JAMIE BRAYDEN
V1 Families warm with laughter
Pray for peace on Earth
But prayers won't bring you back here
Tell me what they're worth
V2 Christmastime together
Christmastime alone
Your baby needs his father
The one he's never known
Ch The star's not on the tree this year
No snowman's on the lawn
Your medals guard the mantle
It's Christmas and you're gone
V3 Young and proud and handsome
A tender, loving soul
We made our lives together
Together we were whole
V4 Questions without answers
Snowflakes turn to rain
Loneliness, so bitter cold
Nothing else remains
Ch The star's not on the tree this year
No snowman's on the lawn
Your medals guard the mantle
It's Christmas and you're gone
V5 Christmas carols fill the air
Glad tidings and good cheer
But all I have's your photograph
And emptiness and tears
Ch The star's not on the tree this year
No snowman's on the lawn
Your medals guard the mantle
It's Christmas and you?re gone
Outro A gold star's in the window
To tell the world you're gone
