Not quite a year, - but you are not here, for the first time, a Christmas wishing that you were still near
 Gone in a heartbeat - gone too soon,
 missed is your laughter, your smiles your cheer,
 I don't know that I can make it through Christmas this year.
 A part of our family, a dear one so missed,
 it's just not the same at all
 I wrap the gifts - can barely get the tree trimmed
 I want so badly to pick up the phone and call
 I wish you were here, it's just not the same,

 I think I'll skip Christmas this year...
