eMiLy AdaMs - If You're Not Here

If You're Not Here

Out come all the boxes
They're covering the floor
There's one in every corner
Like so many years before
Bring on all the magic
I love this time of year
When everything is splashed in red
And ones I love are near

I can't wait
For peppermint, pine
Sugar and spice
And silent nights
Cuddling in the dark
By the glow of the fire
And the twinkling lights
Wrapped up in the splendor
Of it all, year after year
But it won't really feel like Christmas
Until you're here

Frank, Andy Dean and Bing
Are playing on the stereo
Surrounding me with memories
From so many years ago
Family traditions
Are what mean the most to me
Not what's sitting underneath
But who's sitting 'round the tree

I can't wait
For peppermint, pine
Sugar and spice
And silent nights
Cuddling in the dark
By the glow of the fire
And the twinkling lights
Wrapped up in the splendor
Of it all, year after year
But it won't really feel like Christmas
Unless you're here

Fa-la-la-la-la, fa-la-la-la-la, fa-la-la-la-la
Fa-la-la-la-la, fa-la-la-la-la, fa-la-la-la-la
Fa-la-la-la-la, fa-la-la-la-la, fa-la-la-la-la
Fa-la-la-la-la, fa-la-la-la-la, fa-la-la-la-la

You fill my soul with love and laughter
You make my happy-ever-after
No one else could fill your shoes
It wouldn't be the same without you
No, it just won't feel like Christmas
If you're not here
