This Christmas Eve I’ll put lights around the tree, that flicker red and gold. Our empty home.
This Christmas Eve there’s no need for extra chairs, you won’t be there, an ordinary day
Until next year
This Christmas Eve will I fight to go to sleep? Will i lay out our table just for two?
The first Christmas eve I won’t make plans to see my friends, the Fairytale of New York sung alone
Until next year
And the streets will stay empty on this Christmas Eve
Until next year
