"Christmas Feels Different This Year" lyrics

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
