Christmas This Year

There's less of a hustle and bustle
Smiles are harder to see
I miss the sound of carolers singing
Those familiar melodies
I'm still baking some cookies
But zoom parties aren't as much fun
We countdown the days to the calendar change
This year's been a difficult one

So let's light a candle
And sing silent night
That star in the distance
Is still shining bright
And though we're not together
And the path ahead's unclear
Let's hold onto hope
Keep spreading good cheer
Cause we all need some Christmas this year

Outside the snow is still falling
A wonderful winter affair
Johnny Mathis is playing
But he serenades empty chairs
The stockings hang from the mantle
The lights are all up on the tree
But no reindeer games, it's just not the same
Without you here next to me

So let's light a candle
And sing silent night
That star in the distance
Is still shining bright
And though we're not together
And the path ahead's unclear
Let's hold onto hope
Keep spreading good cheer
Cause we all need some Christmas this year

Some red, some green
Some joy and peace
Season with tradition
And sweet memories

So let's light a candle
And sing silent night
That star in the distance
Is still shining bright
And though we're not together
And the path ahead's unclear
Let's hold onto hope
Keep spreading good cheer
Cause we all need some Christmas this year
