Missing You This Christmas

Verse 1

December wind is blowing down this hallway

House full of silence, but my heart’s a crowd

Got the scent of your perfume on that old red sweater

Wish I could tell you how I’m missing you out loud

Pre-Chorus

Late night radio, plays our favorite old refrain

I close my eyes and I see you again [Chorus]

It’s a lonely Christmas, sitting by this fire

Memories flicker like the fading light

All that’s missing here is your sweet laughter

Guess I’ll keep this whiskey company tonight

Post-Chorus

Lonely Christmas night

Lonely Christmas night

Verse 2

The tinsel on the mantel just don’t sparkle

Presents unopened, under the old pine

I hear the carolers outside my window

But your voice is the only one on my mind

Pre-Chorus

Snow keeps falling, drawing patterns on the glass

Wishing you’d walk through that door at last

Chorus

It’s a lonely Christmas, sitting by this fire

Memories flicker like the fading light

All that’s missing here is your sweet laughter

Guess I’ll keep this whiskey company tonight

Post-Chorus

Lonely Christmas night

Lonely Christmas night

Bridge

If you get this letter, hope you know I’m trying

To pick up all the pieces, one more year gone by

Cold hands holding on to faded photographs

And a promise that tomorrow I might not cry

Chorus

It’s a lonely Christmas, sitting by this fire

Memories flicker like the fading light

All that’s missing here is your sweet laughter

Guess I’ll keep this whiskey company tonight

Post-Chorus

Lonely Christmas night

Lonely Christmas night

Outro

So I’ll raise a glass to the stars up above

Send a wish wherever you are tonight

May you find some peace, may you find some love

While I hold on to hope by this firelight
