Christmas Without You
The nights are long and cold, the sun is hardly around,
Christmas time as approached, with no snow on the ground,
Trees and lights are twinkling, stockings are hung.
The Christmas spirit is all around, as Christmas songs are being sung.
This year Christmas is not the same, just a yearly memory,
The house is not a home anymore, you are not here with me.
There will be sadness; there will be tears, when we wake Christmas Day.
As we sit around the Christmas tree, emotions will get sad,
Gifts for them, gifts for me, but none of them will say DAD.
All i want for Christmas is to see your smiling face,
I know it can't happen because your in a better place.
Please...DAD ring the bell for me Christmas Day.
So I will know you got your wings and that your ok.
I don't look forward to Christmas, but i know i have something to live for.
I hope there is a Christmas in heaven, because it's not the same here without
you sat in your chair smiling.
