Snow falls quietly, lights shimmer on the street

I walk the winter night and feel the gentle cold  
The city’s glow around me, but the story’s left untold  
You’re missing in the echoes, your voice that I recall  
Christmas without you, heart waits behind the hall

Christmas without you, under the silver snow  
Memories like candle-light in the streets we used to know  
Christmas without you, midnight’s gentle sigh  
I’ll hold the lights for you, while the snow falls by

Synths hum the melody of the nights we used to share  
Jangle of the guitar like your fingers in my hair  
Each ornament remembers the laughter on your face  
Christmas without you, longing in its place

Christmas without you, under the silver snow  
Memories like candle-light in the streets we used to know  
Christmas without you, midnight’s gentle sigh  
I’ll hold the lights for you, while the snow falls by

And I believe in return, the season’s promise true  
When the snow melts quietly, I’ll find my way to you  
Till then I whisper softly, under the winter sky  
Christmas without you, but hope will never die

Christmas without you, under the silver snow  
Memories like candle-light in the streets we used to know  
Christmas without you, midnight’s gentle sigh  
I’ll hold the lights for you, while the snow falls by  

Christmas without you
