Lyrics
Christmas Without You
You left in the Autumn, at the end of the fall
You left with one bag, there was not much at all
You said your goodbyes in no time at all
Our first Christmas without you
You traveled so far; it was the end of the day
You climbed the mountains; you walked them for days
Your body was tired; your skin was so tanned
Our first Christmas without you
Our ancestors country, a land that’s so green
The music you heard, a kiss of the stone
Fill up your pint, a toast to you all
Our first Christmas without you
Your journey continues to the land of the pipes
Some familiar faces make you home sick at night
Left sleeping in bed, they return to their homes
Our First Christmas without you
Musical Break
Hope and Glory, the culture has changed
Scenic, the fun, the riches, the fame
Work for the wreckage and miss the next plane
Our First Christmas without you
Christmas has come and you’re so far from home
Your white Christmas with friends in the snow
Your place at the table will be there next year
Our First Christmas without you
