Lyrics

We'll hang up your stocking from the mantle
And we'll trim up a big Christmas spruce
And we'll all get together just like every year
But this year we'll be here without you
We'll set out your place at the table
Like we've done every holiday past
And we'll share all our stories with smiles on our faces
Of all the warm memories we have

But this year while we're sitting by the fire
Exchanging presents from under the tree
This year as we sit in the glow of the lights
We'll be wishing that you were still here

The mistletoe is hanging in the doorway
The whole house smells like cookies and pie
The phonograph is playing those joyful old songs
But we'll all have a tear in our eyes

'cause this year while we're sitting by the fire
Exchanging presents from under the tree
This year as we sit in the glow of the lights
We'll be wishing that you were still here

Everybody's here now, and we're having a good time
Our loud voices just booming with cheer
But, oh, how we miss you now that you're gone
How we're wishing that you were still here

This year while we're sitting by the fire
Exchanging presents from under the tree
This year as we sit in the glow of the lights
We'll be wishing that you were still here
