"Last Year" lyrics

I got the boxes down from the attic
With the tree up in the room
Unwrapped every ornament
Covered in pages from last year's Sunday Tribune

Just about every one of them
Reminds me of you
Cause knick knacks and flashbacks
And yester-year's news

Oh, it's that time again
For the memories of loved ones, family, and friends
But this Christmas I know won't compare
To back when you were here
I guess there's always last year

You were laughing by the light of the fireplace
Every time I close my eyes
The best days of my life
Those cold winter nights
Even though I realize

There will never be another December like that
But I'm trying to be thankful for what we had

Oh, it's that time again
For the memories of loved ones, family, and friends
But this Christmas I know won't compare
To back when you were here
I guess there's always last year

Found a picture of you in the snow
In a bad Christmas sweater
Next to letters you wrote
Don't you know you're the reason I love this season so

Oh, it's that time again (It's that time again)

This Christmas is just not the same without you here
I guess there's always last year

Guess there's always last year
