There's an angel on the tree, presence on the floor
Mistletoe above the kitchen door
And the kids are playing games, and the turkey's going gold
Mariah Carey's on the radio
I'm pouring everybody a drink
But I'm holding back the tears as I think about
How grand that light to whiskey
And grown more like the gin
And Uncle Johnny wasn't first, he'd drink anything
So let's raise a glass to all those we wish were sitting here
The ones we miss the most this time of year
Well I still hear their voices laughing
And I'm holding back the tears as I think about
That the Christmas cracker jokes
See their footsteps sinking in the snow
Cause all the magic in December
Seems to bring them back to life
For a moment they're all with me by my side
I'm pouring everybody a drink
But I'm holding back the tears as I think about
how grand that light to whiskey
And grown more like the gin
And Uncle Johnny wasn't first, he'd drink anything
So let's raise a glass to all those we wish were sitting here
The ones we miss the most this time of year
This time of year
sure we're making memories good enough to last let's make this year the best we've ever had
because one day i'll be laughing with you somewhere from the past so will you raise a glass
for me you know i like a whiskey and mom she likes a gin
our little cousin's still too young but maybe just a sip and let's all enjoy the moment
before it disappears with the ones we love the most this time
let's raise a glass to all those we wish were sitting here the ones we miss the most
this time of year
you
