(Verse)
The snow falls quiet on the frozen ground
Your laughter's missing
It's a hollow sound
The tree is lit
But it feels so dim
I smile for them
But I ache within
(Prechorus)
I set the table
Your seat is bare
An empty chair
Just sitting there
(Chorus)
Oh the stars shine bright
But you're not here
And I hold back tears every passing year
I whisper your name to the winter air
Still I see you
In that empty chair
(Verse 2)
The carolers sing
Their voices sweet
But your melody made it all complete
The stockings hang like they always do
But one stays empty
Just like the room
(Chorus)
Oh the stars shine bright
But you're not here
And I hold back tears every passing year
I whisper your name to the winter air
Still I see you
In that empty chair
(Bridge)
I keep your memory like a candle's glow
Through the frost and the cold
It warms my soul
And though the season brings joy and cheer
I'd trade it all just to have you near
