Lyrics
It's The First Christmas Without You ©
Inspired by the family of Joe DeMarco
Music and Lyrics: PJ Parker (ASCAP)
It's The First Christmas Without You
The first Noel since you're gone
It's not a merry place,
Without your sunny face
It's The First Christmas Without You
Yes, It's The First Christmas Without You
Without your smile to light my Christmas tree
It's hard to deck the hall
When the tears start to fall
It's The First Christmas Without You
'Tis the season for the tinsel
"Tis the season for the glow
Wrap the heartache and the feeling
In a bright green shiny bow
Golden silver sounds of singing
Through the snow-white Christmas skies
And the only thing that's red
Are these cryin' eyes
And It's The First Christmas Without You
The very one I thought I'd never see
And I can't hold you tight
On this silent night
It's The First Christmas
I gotta make it through this Christmas
It's The First Christmas
Without You
