Lyrics

[Chorus]
He's gone
2000 miles is very far
The snow is falling down
Gets colder day by day
I miss you
[Refrain]
The children were singing
He'll be back at Christmas time
[Verse 1]
In these frozen and silent nights
Sometimes in a dream, you appear
Outside, under the purple sky
Diamonds in the snow sparkle
[Refrain]
Our hearts were singing
It felt like Christmas time
[Bridge]
2000 miles
Is very far through the snow
I'll think of you
Wherever you go
[Chorus]
He's gone
2000 miles is very far
The snow is falling down
Gets colder day by day
I miss you
[Outro]
I can hear people singing
It must be Christmas time
I hear people singing
It must be Christmas time
