The Very First Christmas Without You

THE VERY FIRST CHRISTMAS WITHOUT YOU It's the very first Christmas without you But I'll do nothing special this year Old customs are there to be followed... it's said So I am pretending that you're still here It's the very first Christmas without you The stars and the snow are in place And though the fairy–lights twinkle to cheer me up They just cannot put a smile back on my face Wake me when it's over I'm dreaming of winters past And of Christmasses that we have shared ... I thought would last I'll just draw my chair close to the fire So the frost and the dark cannot hide And hope that the embers and the dancing flames Will melt the icey chill I feel inside Wake me when it's over I'm dreaming of winters past And of Christmasses that we have shared... I thought would last But it's the very first Christmas without you And on the presents that Santa's left here There are no "to-and-from" labels under the tree With your name on... and love to me It's-a-very-unmerry-alone-first-Christmas-song
