The nights are long and cold; the sun is hardly around
Christmas time is approaching, and snow will soon cover the ground.
Trees and lights are twinkling, stockings are being hung
The Christmas spirit is all around as carols are being sung.
This year Christmas is not the same, just a yearly memory
This house is not a home anymore because you are not here with me.
There will be sadness, there will be tears when we wake up on Christmas day
For this will be the first without you; oh, how I wish Heaven was just a mile away.
As we sit around the Christmas tree, emotions will be sad
Gifts for them, gifts for me, but none of them will say Alan.
All I want for Christmas is to see your smiling face
I know it cannot happen because you are in a better place.
Please Alan, ring a bell for me on Christmas day
So I will know you got your wings and that you are okay.
I am not looking forward to Christmas
But I know it’s something I have to live through.
I hope there is Christmas in Heaven
Because it is not the same here without you.
