Empty Stockings Lyrics

The lights are twinkling but I feel so low

Last Christmas Eve you held me close

We sang by the fire hot cocoa in hand

Now it's just me in this quiet land

Empty stockings hang on the wall

Echoes of laughter now a distant call

I'll hang them up for the love that we had

But these empty stockings just make me so sad

Remember the snowflakes dancing around

Building our memories never let down

Your smile was brighter than the stars above

Now I'm left searching for lost Christmas love

Empty stockings hang on the wall

Echoes of laughter now a distant call

I'll hang them up for the love that we had

But these empty stockings just make me so sad

I hear your voice in the carols we played

Our favorite song on that cold holiday

Each jingle bell rings but it's bittersweet

As I trace your name in the snow at my feet

Empty stockings hang on the wall

Echoes of laughter now a distant call

I'll hang them up for the love that we had

But these empty stockings just make me so sad

So I'll raise a glass to the ghosts of our past

The joy that we shared how I wish it could last

I'll keep the lights on though the warmth is gone

In this quiet house I'll still sing our song

Empty stockings but my love lives on
