There we were again
On the most magic of all nights
The smell of pine was in the air
The cheer was in our hearts
And I could hear the silent snowflakes
Falling on our old driveway
Excitement ringing through the air
While we tried to stay awake
As long as time permits
Then I won't forget the sound
As our grandpa sang that silly song
With grandma not around
And you came home from work earlier
Than you did all year.
Christmas never felt the same again
Without you here
They say it takes a lot of work
To be ok again.
It's not as if a book exists
On how you should begin.
A faded carols melody
The truth still setting in
Christmas doesn't feel the same again
Without you here.
