"Christmas Will Be Different This Year" lyrics

Snow should be falling like angels to the ground
Cathedrals should be singing but the pews are empty now
And I should be driving on my way home to you
Counting decorated houses, singing every Christmas tune

But I won't be there
And you won't be here
Christmas will be different this year

I'll set the dinner table the way that you taught me
Send greeting cards and presents, hang lights on every tree
But I'll miss you Christmas morning while the world is waking up
But I'll keep the fireplace glowing, but it won't be enough

'Cause I won't be there
And you won't be here
But I'll look for the magic anyway
And I'll keep all our traditions just the same
Even though Christmas will be different this year, year

But I won't be there
And you won't be here
Oh, Christmas will be different this year
Oh, Christmas will be different this year
Oh, Christmas will be different this year
