Christmas Will Be Different This Year (Live)

Snow is falling Christmas Eve

Lights are coming on up and down the street

The sound of carols fills the air

And people rushing home, families everywhere

Putting candles in the windows

Lights upon the tree

But there's no laughter in this house

Not like there used to be

There's just a million little memories

That remind me you're not here

It's just a different kind of Christmas this year

In the evening fires glow

Dancing underneath the mistletoe

A letter left from Santa Claus

Won't be the same this year in this house because

There's one less place set at the table

One less gift under the tree

And a brand new way to take their place inside of me

I'm unwrapping all these memories

Fighting back the tears

It's just a different kind of Christmas this year

There's voices in the driveway

Families right outside the door

And we'll try to make this Christmas like the ones we've had before

As we gather round the table, I see joy on every face

And I realize what's still alive is the legacy you made

It's time to put the candles in the windows, the lights upon the tree

It's time to fill this house with laughter like it used to be

Just because you're up in heaven, doesn't mean you're not near

It's just a different kind of Christmas

It's just a different kind of Christmas this year
