Last Year (feat. Brad Paisley)

I got the boxes down from the attic

With the tree up in the room

Unwrapped every ornament

Covered in pages from last year's Sunday Tribune

Just about every one of them

Reminds me of you

'Cause knick knacks and flashbacks

And yester-year's news

Oh, it's that time again

For the memories of loved ones, family, and friends

But this Christmas I know won't compare

To back when you were here

I guess there's always last year

You were laughing by the light of the fireplace

Every time I close my eyes

The best days of my life

Those cold winter nights

Even though I realize

There will never be another December like that

But I'm trying to be thankful for what we had

Oh, it's that time again

For the memories of loved ones, family, and friends

But this Christmas I know won't compare

To back when you were here

I guess there's always last year

Found a picture of you in the snow

In a bad Christmas sweater

Next to letters you wrote

Don't you know you're the reason I love this season so?

Oh, it's that time again (It's that time again)

This Christmas is just not the same without you here

I guess there's always last year

Guess there's always last year
