The Safest Place (Underneath This Christmas Tree)

Seasons greetings strung up with good tidings
If we believe, maybe they'll find me
Postcards hanging on the fridge from all my friends & family
Photos of their lives & kids
Somehow through this year they're smiling

So sick of being apart this year, without your cheer
The phone laying in my lap with your texts
It's not the same, but still I laugh

When you told me to write you a song
That you could sing along to and know the words
Well this can be your one, now that it's done
Don't ever say I never put you first
I've found the safest place to keep all our memories
Wrapped up sweet and tucked in neat
Underneath this Christmas tree

A white blanket coats the world outside
"Facetime is fine" I say, but that's a lie
The embers burn down to a glow, I'm gray as ash again
The winter cold moves things so slow
This clock has frozen hands

The Office again to pass the time, I know every line
The phone on one percent from your texts
Might go insane, but it's all I have left of you

Remember when you told me to write you a song
That you could sing along to and know the words
Well this can be your one, now that it's done
Don't ever say I never put you first
I've found the safest place to keep all our memories
Wrapped up sweet and tucked in neat
Underneath this Christmas tree
