Song Description

This song is for anyone who is missing someone that they care about over Christmas whether it's through distance, death, or loss of the relationship.

Lyrics

VERSE:
The sparkling lights are not the same
The evening fire lost its flame
Christmas carols ring untrue
The children's stockings hang askew

CHORUS:
It's just not Christmas without you
Red and green leave me blue
The skies are grey
Most everyday
And the snow is colder this year.

VERSE:
Santa's now an awkward clown
I force a smile to hide a frown
Rudolph's nose has lost its glow
Frosty's now just melted snow

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge: You made an angel in the snow
We watched the evening fire's glow
I still remember
Each glowing ember
Now that you're gone
It's just December

Christmas past a painful ghost
Christmas future haunts me most
An empty glass of Christmas cheer
Christmas presents wrapped in tears

CHORUS (with variation):
It's just December without you
Red and green leave me blue
The skies are grey
Most everyday
And the snow is colder this year.
