The snow is falling, soft and bright,

But it feels colder here tonight

The tree is trimmed, the lights aglow,

Yet something's missing; I think you know

The chair you'd fill, the laugh you'd bring,

The carols we would always sing

This year it's silent where you stood,

Our hearts ache, but we know you're good

First Christmas without you here,

The season's joy feels wrapped in tears

But through the pain, a light shines through,

We'll hold to love and remember you

God's peace will heal, His grace is true,

Even on this first Christmas without you

The table's set, the candles burn,

Still, I can't help but yearn

Your stories echo in the air,

A reminder that love is everywhere

We gather close, though hearts may ache,

For the memories we cannot remake

But family's warmth, and faith so strong,

Will carry us through as we press along

First Christmas without you here,

The season's joy feels wrapped in tears

But through the pain, a light shines through,

We'll hold to love and remember you

God's peace will heal, His grace is true,

Even on this first Christmas without you

The star above, it guides my way,

To find the hope in Christmas Day

You're with the angels, watching near,

Your love remains, forever clear

First Christmas without you here,

Though we still cry, we'll persevere

For in His arms, you've found your place,

And someday we'll meet face to face

God's peace will heal, His grace is true,

Bringing hope this Christmas, for me and you

So we light a candle, say a prayer,

With love in our hearts, we'll feel you there

Through joy and tears, we'll make it through,

On this first Christmas without you
