lyrics

An extra start at the table,
an empty chair in the corner
and although the fire is alight
somehow it’s colder

this time of year I feel him with me
I see the twinkle in his eye
hidden in the fairy lights
this time of year is when I miss him most of all
he couldn’t keep up the fight

we’ll still pour the wine he liked
we’ll still wear our Christmas crowns
he used to help me put the start up on the tree
now that star is looking down

sometimes I muddle past and present
and I’ll look over to see you there
the only present I want this year
is to see you in your empty chair

— instrumental —

This time of year is when we all should be together
singing carols with the band
celebrating hand in hand
this time of year is when meant for giving
but this year all they’ve done is take
I didn’t ask for heart to break

your chair is empty in the corner
and although my eyes are full of tears
I wish you merry Christmas wherever you are
and wish for you to be home, next year
