The embers glow inside my chest
The memories old come back and
We're making angels in the snow
Feels like yesterday
We were eating toast
By the fire we made
But you're not here this Christmas
Everything has changed
Even though there's mistletoe
And the carols we sing are the same
I used to tell Santa, "bring my favorite toy!"
But things are different since I was a boy
'Cause I'd love nothing more
Than to hear you knockin' at my door
'Cause heaven for a kid lies underneath the tree
But sippin' on cocoa with you, that was heaven to me
With Silent Night we go to sleep
My nephew's eyes wide open
He swears he hears a jingling
I thought I heard it too
He hoped it was Santa Clause
While I hoped that it was you
But you're not here this Christmas
Everything has changed
Even though there's mistletoe
And the carols we sing are the same
I used to tell Santa, "bring my favorite toy!"
But things are different since I was a boy
'Cause I'd love nothing more
Than to hear you knocking at my door
'Cause heaven for a kid lies underneath the tree
But sippin' on cocoa with you, that was heaven to me
Why do the seasons change?
Why'd you go away?
'Cause since then the winter feels colder
'Cause you're not here this Christmas
Everything has changed
Even though there's mistletoe
And the carols we sing are the same
I used to tell Santa, "bring my favorite toy!"
But things are different since I was a boy
'Cause I'd love nothing more
Than to hear you knocking at my door
'Cause heaven for a kid lies underneath the tree
But sippin' on cocoa with you, that was heaven to me
Oh what I'd do for some cocoa with you
Maybe just a movie or two
But even just a moment with you
Would be heaven for me
