Ghost of Christmas Past

[Scrooge:] Let’s go back to where it started Where my life was filled with peace Though alone, my dad cold hearted My sister Fan, made my darkness cease Was left at school every Christmas evening Then one day I found new meaning When they would invite me home Joyful, at ease – with family With the news that Fanny died I knew from this moment that I’m all alone (He thinks his alone when there’s all around him others) (That his lonely heart can’t see, it’s filled with greed) [Spirit:] Come and take my robe We will fly away [Scrooge:] Come with your robe, we fly away To a time of jolly and gay With the Ghost of Christmas Past Here to help me find my way On towards my glory days Of working for a jolly man Fezziwig, that kook, how he made us laugh and Took us in with open arms Dance ’til morning, singing, cheering Christmas time was always steering To a hope of better times I still can recall that joyful night When I met my love, my Belle Wish for the rest of my time That we could have made a life together [Spirit:] Come and take my robe We will fly away [Scrooge:] Come with your robe, we fly away To a time of jolly and gay With the Ghost of Christmas Past Here to help me find my way The hour strikes, it’s getting darker Then I see a lonely man Waiting for his true love Belle Knowing that she won’t show up She was my true love, I knew But she had found herself someone new [Spirit:] Consumed by greed, his lust for wealth Lost in his world, a tragic spell [Scrooge:] Now I know what could have been Should I regret that painful sin? How I chose my own success Before the only woman I have ever loved liked this [Spirit:] Come and take my robe We will fly away [Scrooge:] Come with your robe, we fly away To a time of jolly and gay With the help of the Ghost of the Christmas Past To show me on my way
