You always remember the way things were when you were little.
Mom and Dad and family that made the magic appear.
The prayers, the food and the smiles full of cheer.
But now. Oh how things have changed.
I got my wife and me
plus our own family.
And you're not here.
That makes it all so clear.
Why my heart is parted in two.
The holidays aren't the same without you.
I miss seeing your morning smile when I woke up the day.
You stood outside my door
to guide the way.
Then walked and laughed to open presents together.
Oh how simple and fun
it was to be your son.
I thought life would like this forever.
But now. Oh how things have changed.
I got my wife and me
plus our own family.
You're not here.
That makes it all so clear.
Why my heart hurts to remember.
The holidays just aren't the same without you.
As the years went by.
We got older together.
I grew facial hair.
Your face wrinkled here and there.
But I still saw the same mom
That made everyday a holiday.
How? How can this be?
We get used to things being a certain way
And then things just change?
Here's my heart Father Time.
I can mend it but it'll never be the same.
Because the holidays.
Yes, the holidays aren't the same without you.
The holidays. Yes, the holidays aren't the same without you.
But now. Oh how things have changed.
I got my wife and me
plus our own family.
You're not here.
That makes it all so clear.
Why my heart hurts to remember.
The holidays just aren't the same without you.
