Save Me a Seat by the Fire

Prompt
Gentle acoustic Christmas ballad, fingerpicked guitar, soft piano, brushed drums, light strings and distant sleigh bells, a warm family song for grandparents and family far away, tender and hopeful, radio quality, clear English diction. [Vocals: soft female lead vocal with a warm male harmony in the chorus] [Lyrics] [Verse 1] Lola Rosa's on the screen at six o'clock in the morning It's evening where we are and the lights are just turning on She holds the camera way too close, we only see her forehead And she asks if we are eating, if the little ones have grown [Chorus] Save me a seat by the fire, Lola Save me a plate of the bibingka too Twelve thousand miles of wire, Lola And every one of them leads home to you Maligayang Pasko, I'm coming soon [Verse 2] Mateo shows her his drawing of a star above the mango tree Ana plays the carol that she practised all December Lola sings along a second late because the call is slow And it's the sweetest kind of out of tune that I'll remember [Chorus] Save me a seat by the fire, Lola Save me a plate of the bibingka too Twelve thousand miles of wire, Lola And every one of them leads home to you Maligayang Pasko, I'm coming soon [Bridge] Next year we'll fly in for the lantern lights Next year I'll hug you and not your screen [Chorus] Save me a seat by the fire, Lola Twelve thousand miles and I'm still next to you Maligayang Pasko, I'm coming soon
