Here (For Christmas)

Every year around this time, I start to think about you

We're really gonna have another Christmas Eve without you

I can't believe it's been so long

Every day finds a way to make me think about you

Like today when we were pickin' out the tree without you

I can't believe it's been so long

Oh, we miss you like hell, all the stories that you'd tell

'Bout the boat that you built, but never got to sail

I don't know whether I  should cry  or I should smile through my tears

But if you were here we would

Sail that boat into the red horizon

Those years lost, I'd tell you all about 'em

Gone don't always mean that you disappear

'Cause inside all of  us, you're still here

Another year has passed, and now it's time for buyin' presents

I even got you one forgettin' you're not gonna get it

I can't believe it's been so long

This time around we'll try to smile 'cause we're sick of tears

Most days are easy now, but it gets hard this time of year

I can't believe you're really gone

Oh, we miss you like hell, all the stories that you'd tell

'Bout the boat that you built, but never got to sail

I don't know whether I should cry or I should smile through my tears

But if you were here we would

Sail that boat into the red horizon

Those years lost, I'd tell you all about 'em

Gone don't always mean that you disappear

'Cause inside all of us, you're still

Wild  and free, I've got so many memories

Soon time too will take all of 'em from me

Gone don't always mean that you disappear

'Cause inside all of us, you're still here

When it's dark and it's cold, everyone is comin' home

I just wish you could know that's when we're missin' you the most

I don't know whether I should cry or I should smile through my tears

But if you were here we would

Sail that boat into the red horizon

Those years lost, I'd tell you all about 'em

Gone don't always mean that you disappear

'Cause inside all of us, you're still

Wild and free, I've got so many memories

Soon time too will take all of 'em from me

Gone don't always mean that you disappear

'Cause inside all of us, you're still here
