The stores have all been closed
The classrooms locked up tight
Concert halls and shopping malls
Sit silent, every night
No parties packed inside
With boisterous Christmas cheer
Sometimes it seems there's not that much
To celebrate this year
How will you remember this Christmas
So many years from now
How will you remember this Christmas
And the way it showed you how
To cherish the ones you love
And honor the ones not here
Never forgetting the most important thing this time of year
We can never be apart
If you hold me in your heart
How will you remember this Christmas next year
As the snow begins to fall
On an empty boulevard
No caroling while church bells ring
Who knew it'd be this hard
We feel so far apart
Wond'ring how long this could last
Dreaming by the firelight
Of holidays gone past
How will you remember this Christmas
So many years from now
How will you remember this Christmas
And the way it showed you how
To cherish the ones you love
Remember the ones since past
Never forgetting the most amazing memories will last
We can never be apart
If you hold me in your heart
How will you remember this Christmas next year
When stories all are told
Of the year that time just passed
Just ask
How will you remember this Christmas
So many years from now
How will you remember this Christmas
And the way it showed you how
We can never be apart
If you hold me in your heart
How will you remember this Christmas
And all that we learned from this Christmas
How will you remember this Christmas next year
