"Love You Left Behind" lyrics

These Christmas lights
Are gonna have to shine a little brighter
Hold each other just a little tighter than last year
Now that your not here
This open fire
Is gonna have to burn a little warmer
Singers singing louder at the door on Christmas Eve
'Cause you're not here with me

'Cause every time I look across the table for your smile
Remember how we laughed until we cried
What I wouldn't give, oh, I
I see you in my father's lonely eyes
Your family holding hands at Christmastime
Look at the love
The love you left behind

The snow will fall
The tree will still be standing in the hall
The world you built for us, it carries on
I'll keep you near
I hear your voice so clear

'Cause every time I look across the table for your smile
Remember how we laughed until we cried
What I wouldn't give, oh, I
I see you in my father's lonely eyes
Your family holding hands at Christmastime
Look at the love
The love you left behind

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
The love, the love, the love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You left behind
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

'Cause every time I look across the table for your smile
Remember how we laughed until we cried
What I wouldn't give, oh, I
I see you in my father's lonely eyes
Your family holding hands at Christmastime
Look at the love
The love you left behind
