The Sweetest Gift (ThePianoGuys x Craig Aven) - cover by Vernica
Merry Christmas Once Again...
It's a very emotional Christmas song for me...
I dedicate it for my beloved mother who passed away last July because of Covid.. and also for many other beautiful souls who have gone to heaven before us. It's also for the grieving family that has left behind. I hope we all find solace and comfort.

Lyric:
I'm not gonna lie
Christmas really hurts this time
'Cause you're not here to celebrate with me
Tears fill my eyes
The memories flood my mind
As I place your ornament upon our tree
Although this year I have a broken heart
It gives me hope and joy as I remember where you are
You're with the Son of God
You're with the Prince of Peace
You're with the one who's celebrating
And that thought amazes me
Sometimes I still break down
Grieving that we're apart
But the sweetest gift is knowing where you are
You're with the Son of God
Got your picture in the frame
And a stocking with your name
Oh God knows it's been hard letting go
And I can't bring you back but I'll see you again
And all that thought is healing to my soul
I'll miss making angels with you in the snow
I guess instead you will be singing with them all around God's throne
You're with the Son of God
You're with the Prince of Peace
You're with the one who's celebrating
And that thought amazes me
Sometimes I still break down
Grieving that we're apart
But the sweetest gift is knowing where you are
'Cause you're with the Son of God
And I know the Christmas season was your favorite time of year
You loved to help us decorate our tree
But now that you're with Jesus
Can't imagine how you feel
'Cause he's the one who bled and died upon the tree for you and me
You're with the Son of God
You're with the Prince of Peace
You're with the one who's celebrating
And that thought amazes me
Sometimes I still break down
Grieving that we're apart
But the sweetest gift is knowing where you are
Yes, the sweetest gift is knowing where you are
Yes, the sweetest gift is knowing you're in his arms
You're with the Son of God
