Merry Christmas Wherever You Are

The year is coming to a frozen end
And that means it's time for you-know-what-and-when
But since you've been gone, everything has changed
Sometimes its hard to even say your name

Nobody carols around here anymore
No festive wreaths are hung upon the door
The tree is up, but looking dryer every day
Without you here, the season's not the same

So here's a Christmas toast to all the ones we're missing
We still hear your voices, it doesn't matter just how far
By all the stars shining bright, we wish you could be here tonight
Merry Christmas, wherever you are

Still want to call you up and find out how you've been
Talk about the ghosts of Christmas now and then
It's a long, cold winter, but still a holiday
Sometimes it's hard to stop feeling this way

The pretty lights and all the ornaments
Dimmed the night you left and ever since
One less name on my list, one more card that I've missed
And the presents I'll never hold again

So here's a Christmas toast to all the ones we're missing
We still hear your voices, it doesn't matter just how far
By all the stars shining bright, we wish you could be here tonight
Merry Christmas, wherever you are

This Christmas Eve, the forecast calls for rain
Feels like I'm hanging off of Jacob Marley's chain
But spirits I can bear no more are still creaking across my floor
Telling me all this grief will fade away

So here's a Christmas toast to all the ones we're missing
We still hear your voices, it doesn't matter just how far
By all the stars shining bright, we wish you could be here tonight
Merry Christmas, wherever you are
