It's getting cold and the fire's getting warmer Atop the tree, there's a star Yeah, I know it's the happiest season But sometimes Christmas is hard On the streets, saw some people, they were singing Holding candles in the dark There could be 'bout a million different reasons Sometimes Christmas is hard If you lost someone and the empty chair reminds you You can't be yourself with your family around you I just hope this helps and I promise you are not alone All the gifts put in boxes wrapped in ribbon Your name is written on the card But some things in life, you can't be given Yeah, sometimes Christmas is hard If you lost someone and the empty chair reminds you You can't be yourself with your family around you I just hope this helps and I promise you are not alone Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you Merry Christmas If you lost someone and the empty chair reminds you You can't be yourself with your family around you I just hope this helps and I promise you are not alone
