3rd assignment

Christmas time is here again
what a long year it has been
Time to gather with family
Hurry up and grab the key

Off to grandma and grandpa's
Parents obeying all the speed laws
We stop and park the white van
I hop out the car as mommy grabs my hand

Go up to the door and ring the bell
Wondering if this day will go well
Grandma swiftly opens the door
My smile becoming more and more

The big beautiful green tree
Is all i could really see
From the two silver doves
To the picture of me

Time to open gifts
Hoping to find things on our list
Family all crowded near
Some gifts made grandma shed a tear

Ripping open the wrapping paper
Not taking time to appreciate the maker
plain, stripes, and polka dots
presents, presents, lot's and lot's

Time to go home
Spend time all alone
The day is done and now it's night
Finally time to turn out the light

3rd assignment

I wish you would tell me
the words i want to hear
I wish you would be here
to catch my every tear

Do you know that i'm still here
i'm still waiting
Do you know i still care
i keep thinking

I gave you everything
my heart and soul
I gave you all i had
anything in the whole world

Do you see what we
could have been
Do you see we
would have been happy till the end

It's over now
everything is done
It's over now
you are gone
