The tree still glows in the corner like it did last year But the room feels twice as wide when you ain't here I left your stocking hung, though I know you won't be coming down There's coffee getting cold and snow falling on this quiet town The radio's playing carols I used to know by heart Now every word just reminds me we're apart I set the table for two out of habit, I suppose One chair stays empty while the evening slows It's Christmas Eve without you, baby, and the hours drag like days The lights are on, the fire's warm, but nothing feels the same I'm singing songs to no one, just a voice inside these walls It's Christmas Eve without you, the loneliest night of all Your scarf's still on the coat rack by the door I caught myself laughing at a joke you told before Then the silence settles back and I remember where you've gone The season keeps on turning but my heart ain't moving on I wrapped a gift I'll never give, tied it with a bow Just another thing I'm holding that I need to let go The neighbors got their family close, I hear them through the walls While I'm just here remembering last Christmas, that's all It's Christmas Eve without you, baby, and the hours drag like days The lights are on, the fire's warm, but nothing feels the same I'm singing songs to no one, just a voice inside these walls It's Christmas Eve without you, the loneliest night of all Maybe next year I'll take the tree down Maybe next year I won't hang around But tonight I’m just letting the memories flow Wishing you were here beneath the mistletoe It's Christmas Eve without you, baby, and the hours drag like days The lights are on, the fire's warm, but nothing feels the same I'm singing songs to no one, just a voice inside these walls It's Christmas Eve without you, the loneliest night of all Yeah, the loneliest night of all...
