Christmas Feels Different This Year

Colored lights on the tree

Hear the sleigh bells they’re ringing

Sugarplums in our dreams

Children’s choirs are singing

I should cherish the noise

I should feel the joy

But here I am holding back tears

'Cause Christmas feels different this year

There’s a few empty chairs

And a couple less presents

And the snow in the air

Is starting to lose its magic

I’ll put on a dress

And I’ll do my best

But I think I’m all out of cheer

'Cause Christmas feels different this year

Maybe it’s fine if I’m not alright

Maybe I’m not alone

We’re looking for light so merry and bright

So hold the memories close

And it’s silent tonight

'Cause we can’t be together

But I know in my heart

That this won’t last forever

Life is bitter and sweet

Everything in between

So I’ll make the most of what’s here

But Christmas feels different

Yeah this Christmas feels different

Christmas feels different this year
