It’s the very first Christmas without you
but I’ll do nothing special this year
old customs are there to be followed...it’s said
so I am pretending that you’re still here
It’s the very first Christmas without you
the stars and the snow are in place
and though the fairy–lights twinkle to cheer me up
they just cannot put a smile back on my face
Wake me when it’s over
I’m dreaming of winters past
and of Christmasses that we have shared.... I thought would last
I’ll just draw my chair close to the fire
so the frost and the dark cannot hide
and hope that the embers and the dancing flames
will melt the icey chill I feel inside
Wake me when it’s over
I’m dreaming of winters past
And of Christmasses that we have shared....I thought would last
but it’s the very first Christmas without you
And on the presents that Santa’s left here
there are no “to-and-from” labels under the tree
with your name on...and love to me
