The lights are shining and the snow is falling They say it's the most wonderful time of year But my heart is broken and I'm just coping Trying to make the best of Christmas Without you here Finding peace this holiday Though I know it's not quite the same There's presents missing under the tree Even if I got all that I wanted, it's not what I need But your Christmas wish was to go home The timing was perfect But at the time I didn't know You got to go where you were called And that's the greatest gift of all Missing stocking, the tree is sloppy You'd laugh at Santa's cookies being over-baked Yeah, its a little different with these new traditions We're still finding joy, just in another way Finding peace this holiday Though I know it's not quite the same There's presents missing under the tree Even if I got all that I wanted, it's not what I need But your Christmas wish was to go home The timing was perfect But at the time I didn't know You got to go where you were called And that's the greatest gift of all You're gone, but you're here I feel you in the magic That comes this time of year There's presents missing under the tree Even if I got all that I wanted, it's not what I need But your Christmas wish was to go home The timing was perfect But at the time I didn't know You got to go where you were called And that's the greatest gift of all Yeah, that's the greatest gift of all
