Each year when December is almost here
The holiday spirit is about to appear
The bustle of shopping for gifts under the tree
But a few of us here it seems barren and empty
The stores all packed with shoppers everyday
Getting their gifts and going on their way
Yet there are some people like you and me
Have difficulties with Christmas and even a tree
For we no longer feel we want to shop like to used to do
Because life no longer matters with Christmas without you
Many years we were happy and full of glee
As we watched your smile when you seen the tree
We remember those days long ago and think why
As our hearts and our eyes begin to stumble and cry
Wishing again that you would walk through the door
But another Christmas without you breaks your heart once more
Yet deep inside your hearts breaks in two
But you must be strong for your family its true
They still don't realize the grief and the pain
Because Christmas without you will never be the same.
