I
thought I'd never ever see a brighter day
When Christmas lights were shining but my heart had slipped away
Inside me there was only frozen shadows,
endless night
Where you used to sit beside me,
now there's silence in the light
Old photographs start breathing when the candles softly glow
And that empty chair beside
me whispers all the love I know
But I sing, hey, hey, hey,
you're here with me
I can't see your face,
but in my heart you're free
This empty chair is crying out your name to me
I laugh and I cry,
cause your love still lives in my memory
Hey, hey, hey, I stand when I fall
I walk through the storm,
I don't outrun it at all
I fill the empty places with warmth and light
New little traditions and you by my side tonight
I thought that I could outrun all the sorrow,
all the pain
With another drink, more laughter,
chasing joy that won't remain
But grief was waiting for me just around the nearest bend
Till I stopped and let it break me,
let the tears come, let them end
Old photographs start breathing when the candles softly glow
And that empty chair beside me whispers all the love I know
But I sing, hey, hey, hey,
you're here with me
I can't see your face,
but in my heart you're free
This empty chair is crying out your name to me I laugh and I cry,
cause your love still lives in my memory
Hey,
hey,
hey,
I stand when I fall I walk through the storm,
I don't outrun it at all
I
fill the empty places with warmth and light
New little traditions and you by my side tonight
Your love still
lives in my memory
My
dear boy,
hey, isn't mom I
see you on the other side
My dear boy,
hey,
isn't mom I
see you on the other side
