Maybe

I wanted to post an audio file of this song, but I can't figure out how to do it. Anybody have ideas? It's such a beautiful song.

Maybe This Christmas by Ron Sexsmith

Maybe this Christmas will mean something more
Maybe this year
Love will appear
Deeper than ever before

And maybe forgiveness will ask us to call
Someone we love
Someone we’ve lost
For reasons we can’t quite recall
Maybe this Christmas

Maybe there’ll be an open door
Maybe the star that shone before
Will shine once more

And maybe this Christmas will find us at last
In heavenly peace
Grateful at least
For the love we’ve been shown in the past
Maybe this Christmas


So Christmas has come and gone, and maybe the sentiments above are a little old and a little lost now. Maybe not this Christmas. Maybe next year.

I'm glad you liked this song! I, too, find it rather hopeful. Christmas can be so bittersweet in our self-involved attempts to recreate the nostalgia of the past yet somehow (eagerly) digging our self pity hole deeper. For me, the melody indulged those feelings, allowing the lyrics to refocus my energies into a more positive and hopeful spirit. (I just wish he was he sang it a little more in tune!)
