It's Not Christmas

Verse 1
Like a fireplace without a crackling fire
Or an empty church without that midnight choir
A glass of wine with no one to raise it to
It's not Christmas without you

Verse 2
Like naked trees without their coat of snow
And presents all wrapped up without a bow
Like mistletoe without a kiss or two
It's not Christmas without you

Bridge
I remember second grade and being told
That Santa wasn't real
Now it's Christmas eve and without you here to hold
That's exactly how I feel

Verse 3
Like a candy cane that's missing all it's stripes
Or a snowman who has lost his corncob pipe
Being merry is the hardest thing to do
It's not Christmas without you

Tag
Being merry is the hardest thing to do
It's just not Christmas without you
