“Not Another Christmas Without You” (Soft piano… distant sleigh bells… gentle strings) Verse 1 The first snow’s falling on this old town, Lights are shining, but you’re not around. Every storefront wears a Christmas smile, But this empty heart has walked a thousand miles. Last December you were far away, And every winter breeze still whispers your name. I kept believing time would bring you home, But another year has passed alone. Pre-Chorus The calendar kept turning page by page, But nothing ever felt the same… Chorus I don’t want another Christmas without you, Another silent night that’s missing your light. I don’t want to hang one more lonely stocking, Or watch the snow fall through another sleepless night. I’ve wished on every star above, Prayed heaven hears what I’m dreaming of. If miracles still happen like they used to do, Don’t make it another Christmas without you. Verse 2 Autumn came and the leaves all turned to gold, Still I held on, never letting go. My birthday came… then yours a little while later, Two celebrations wrapped in empty chairs. I saved the candle I was meant to light, Saved every wish I made that night. ‘Cause blowing them out just didn’t seem right, Without you standing by my side. Pre-Chorus The season’s here once again somehow, I’m holding onto hope somehow… Chorus I don’t want another Christmas without you, Another silent night that’s missing your light. I don’t want to hear those old familiar carols While pretending everything’s alright. I’ve wished on every star above, Prayed heaven hears what I’m dreaming of. If love can find its way back home again, it’s true… Don’t make it another Christmas without you. Bridge Maybe you’re looking at this same December moon, Wondering if I’m missing you. Maybe your heart still hears our favorite songs, And knows where it belongs. If love is stronger than the miles we’ve known, Follow the light… come home. [ Music swells… choir joins… sleigh bells grow brighter.] Final Chorus I don’t want another Christmas without you, Another year of hoping you’ll appear. I want to see your footprints in the fresh snow, Feel your hand reaching for mine right here. We’ll celebrate the birthdays that we missed, With one long kiss beneath the mistletoe. Every gift beneath the tree would pale beside The moment I could hold you close. So if this season still believes in miracles, Then maybe one is waiting just for us. The only present that I’m wishing for is you… No… not another Christmas… Not another Christmas… Not another Christmas without you. (Outro) [Soft bells ring, instrumental interlude…] “Come home… Come home for Christmas…”
