Lyrics

Christmas is getting closer,
But my heart’s still stuck in place.
The lights don’t shine the same this year,
Not since you walked away.
I think about you daily,
Like some prayer I can’t undo…
And every night I whisper,
“God, why am I missing you?

Pre-Chorus
’Cause every snowfall, every carol,
Pulls me back to yesterday…

Chorus
And I think of you every day
Since the moment you said goodbye.
I pray at night asking God
Why you left, why I still cry.
Why I miss you so much,
Why your memory won’t fade…
And I wonder if someday
I’ll get to see you again.

Verse 2
People say time will heal me,
But mine froze the day you left.
I walk the halls in silence,
Feeling every empty step.
The songs on every corner
Cut deeper than they used to do…
And I keep asking heaven
If you ever miss me too.

Pre-Chorus
Every bright star in December
Feels like it knows my pain…

Chorus
’Cause I think of you every day
Since the moment you said goodbye.
I pray at night asking God
Why you left, why I still cry.
Why I miss you so much,
Why your memory won’t fade…
And I wonder if someday
I’ll get to see you again.

Bridge
Maybe Christmas has a miracle
Waiting somewhere in the light…
Maybe God will give me courage
To let go or hold on tight.

Final Chorus
Oh, I think of you every day
Since the moment you said goodbye.
I pray at night asking God
Why you left, why I still cry.
Why I miss you so much,
Why I keep dreaming your name…
And I wonder if someday
I’ll get to see you again—
On some Christmas night…
Or in heaven’s gentle flame.
