'Twas after midnight One drink by the fireside How so quickly all the years pass by Grandma's cookin' Takes me back to Brooklyn And Christmas Eves with family by my side Whatever I go through One thing that's always true ooh Time goes by and Everything around us changes But I know the love will stay Evergreen Go through life and Now and then we feel like strangers But I know the love will stay Evergreen, oh evergreen Got me grateful New faces at the table And reminisce about the ones who've gone When we're leaving Coats on, bittersweet, and Promise you won't stay away for long Whatever I go through One thing that's always true, it's always true Time goes by and Everything around us changes But I know the love will stay Evergreen Go through life and Now and then we feel like strangers But I know the love will stay Oh evergreen, oh evergreen It's evergreen, this love goes on yeah Through the years, the joys and tears, and we're still here whoa oh Can't help but wonder why it's been so long since I've been by your side and I've seen your smile Makes me wanna sing out No matter if it's spring through fall Never be afraid to call So until that day our love will stay Oh evergreen
