[Verse]
The lights are shining but they feel so dim
Every carol sung
It don’t include him
The tree’s dressed up
But my heart’s undressed
Holidays hit harder when you're not my guest
[Chorus]
I’m missing you at Christmas
It’s cold without your glow
The snow falls soft and quiet
Like the words I’ll never show
Every gift feels empty
Every cheer feels blue
Holidays aren’t so merry when I’m missing you
[Verse 2]
The table’s set but there’s one chair bare
I reach for your hand but it’s not there
The clock strikes twelve
The year turns new
But time just stands still when I think of you
[Prechorus]
The bells
They chime
But they sound off key
They echo the ache inside of me
[Chorus]
I’m missing you at Christmas
It’s cold without your glow
The snow falls soft and quiet
Like the words I’ll never show
Every gift feels empty
Every cheer feels blue
Holidays aren’t so merry when I’m missing you
[Bridge]
I hung the stockings
I lit the fire
But nothing warms this deep desire
The stars above
They twinkle and gleam
But none of them light up my dream
