Lyrics

It wont be the same this Christmas wishing you were here how I wish that you were with us we're gonna miss you this year at Christmas dinner round the table all the family will be there but just in caae you drop in unexpectadly well leave an empty chair your mom and dad are proud of you our little boys become a man so far away from us today singing peace on earth good will towards men in a desert land We pray for you each morning and we dream of you at night God bless you son and keep you his arms around you tight your Christmas card arrived today painted holly by your name it made your mother cry to think it wouldnt be the same at Christmas dinner round the table.....
