You Would Have Loved This — Tarja Turunen

The winter left her blanket here this morning A soft and gentle coverlet of white Unfolded in the shadows of the dawn It sparked in the early morning light

You would have loved this You would have loved this This was your favorite time of day

The greenery is laid across the mantle And ornaments are hanging on the tree And cradled in the windowsill's a candle A beacon in the night to call you back to me

You would have loved this You always loved this I know you loved this time of year

And though I understand One day again I'll see you I long to touch your hand, hear your voice, feel you

You would have loved this You always loved this Oh, how you loved.
