Promises To Keep Tab

by Trans-siberian Orchestra


This is the version performed by Jennifer Cella at the band's live performances.  I did 
with just my acoustic guitar and it is my first submission, so please go easy on me!

Use a capo if necessary to guide your voice.  I'm a girl and I find it comfortable with 
capo at the 4th fret.  It can work just as well on the 3rd or even 5th, depending on 
voice's capability.


Intro
         
         

                             
Christmastime on a cold December morning
                               
All is calm and the world is still asleep
                                            
Christmas lights that have been caught without warning
     
Gently glitter on
         
Stars to wish upon
                               
All the world is at peace

            

                                     
Christmastime and the year will soon be leaving
                                 
Cloaked in time till it’s just a memory
           	       	        
Christmas stays if we don’t forget its meaning
       
Days go quickly by
           
Years they multiply
                   
And we go searching for thee

Chorus

	                   
And the dream is still alive
                         
From that first December morning
	                   
And it always will survive
              	 
As long as we can see
                       
That the dreams that we find in life
                       
Are the dreams we tend to seek
                                      
And Christmas has its promises to keep
        
Oh, to keep

Refrain

         
         
         
         
      

Chorus

	                      
And the dream is still alive
                         
From that first December morning
	                  
And it always will survive
              	   
As long as we can see
                       
That the dreams that we find in life
                       
Are the dreams we tend to seek
                    
And Christmas has its promises

                 
Christmas has its promises

                                    
Christmas has its promises to keep
                 
Oh, to keep
              
To keep
     
Ohhhhh ohhhhh

                                  
Christmastime and the moment’s just beginning
                                      
From that night when we wished upon that star
                                    
And if this kindness we feel is just pretending
             
If we pretend long enough
     
Never giving up
                                  
It just might be who we are
