​​(What about the holidays)

I remember the first Christmas without you

I wrote the year on a cardboard box

Filled with lights and ornaments

A time for celebration

A house once filled with extended family

Now seems like a distant memory

What about the holidays

Brings to life a sudden change

Is it the hope that a miracle will happen

If we just believe in the magic

What about the holidays

Brings me back to the place

Where I was looking up at that angel on the top of the tree

Wishing you were there with me

An empty chair at the head of the table

Sinatra on the stereo

We used to sing have a merry little Christmas

I try to keep traditions going

The living room still smells like evergreen

I only get the real thing

What about the holidays

Brings to life a sudden change

Is it the hope that a miracle will happen

If we just believe in the magic

What about the holidays

Brings me back to the place

Where I was looking up at that angel on the top of the tree

Wishing you were there with me

I do what I can to keep my spirits high

But I won't lie

Sometimes the lights don't shine as bright

What about the holidays
