Another Christmas Missing You

When the way you used to shine becomes some far-off constellation And the words you said get mixed up with some other conversations When the picture of you in my mind starts fading out of view Then darling, I'll miss missing you When December comes around I'll take the steps down to the basement Go and open up the dusty box of lights and decorations And I'll try to hang them on the tree the way you used to do Another Christmas missing you Oh, when the bells ring out in the morning And you're not there lying next to me But in my mind, outside the snow is falling And I can feel you just the way you used to be I hear you whisper, "Merry Christmas, dear, now wake up 'cause the kids are here" There are people singing carols somewhere just beyond the high street If I close my eyes for long enough I swear that you're beside me I can hear you trying to sing along a little out of tune A merry Christmas missing you Oh, when the bells ring out in the morning And you're not there lying next to me But in my mind, outside the snow is falling And I can feel you just the way you used to be I hear you whisper, "Merry Christmas, dear, now wake up 'cause the kids are here" Another Christmas missing you
