Stood Up On Christmas

(Verse 1)

The fire’s softly crackling, and the lights are all aglow,

I’m dressed up in my best, but there’s no one here to show.

The table’s set for two, with the finest wine and cheer,

But the only thing that’s missing is you standing right here.

(Chorus)

Stood up on Christmas Eve, waiting by the door,

With every passing minute, I can’t take much more.

The presents are unwrapped, and the stockings are still bare,

In this holiday heartache, I’m lost in despair.

Stood up on Christmas Eve, I’m here all alone,

In the silence of the season, I’m aching for a home.

With the mistletoe above and the world so bright,

I’m left in the cold, waiting for you tonight.

(Verse 2)

The snow is gently falling, as I watch the world outside,

The only thing I’m feeling is this emptiness inside.

I keep checking my phone, hoping for a sign,

But the only thing I’m getting is the passing of time.

(Chorus)

Stood up on Christmas Eve, waiting by the door,

With every passing minute, just can’t take much more.

The presents are unwrapped, and the stockings are still bare,

In this holiday heartache, I’m lost in despair.

Stood up on Christmas Eve, I’m here all alone,

In the silence of the season, I’m aching for a home.

With the mistletoe above and the world so bright,

I’m left in the cold, waiting for you tonight.

(Bridge)

The carols keep on playing, but they only bring me pain,

Every note a reminder of the love that’s gone in vain.

So I’ll hold my own hand, and try to smile through the tears,

In this lonely Christmas story, I’ll finally face my fears.

(Chorus)

Stood up on Christmas Eve, waiting by the door,

With every passing minute, just can’t take much more.

The presents are unwrapped, and the stockings are still bare,

In this holiday heartache, I’m lost in despair.

Stood up on Christmas Eve, I’m here all alone,

In the silence of the season, I’m aching for a home.

With the mistletoe above and the world so bright,

I’m left in the cold, waiting for you tonight.

(Outro)

So as the clock strikes midnight, and the snow keeps falling down,

I’ll wrap myself in memories, and try not to drown.

In the stillness of this Christmas, I’ll learn to let you go,

Stood up on Christmas Eve, in the midnight’s gentle glow.
