Story Behind The Song

This is based on a true story, but could be a true story for most of us. It's about a family that lost their mom, and yet she is still very much a part of their every day life.

Song Description

Its about struggling with loss during the holidays, and coming to the realization that despite how sad it is, some people never had a love this special in the first place.

Lyrics

That Chair By The Window

Merry Christmas... Silent Night
That chair by the window
There where you ...used to sit
and maybe you still sit
...When we're alone

...I stopped leaving
(the) gift you left me
under the tree
Perhaps I'm just an old romantic
But they think its time for me to move on

(but) I keep thinking what would it be like
(Spending) each night or the rest of my life without you
If you're gone (then I'm) going along
(or I'm) talking to this
Empty chair where
We can spend the rest of our lives together

Merry Christmas Silent Night
(Is it) so unfair that you were taken...
(Or was I) so lucky just to have a gift so few get to have
No regrets

(but) I keep thinking what would it be like
(Spending) each night or the rest of my life without you
If you're gone (then I'm) going along
(or I'm) talking to this
Empty chair where
We can spend the rest of our lives together

Merry Christmas
