For Those Who Can't Be Here

We put the lights up on the tree And all the presents underneath Light the fire, it's getting cold Another year of, "Will it snow?" Mixin' lager and champagne Somethin' I'll never do again 'Round the table banter flows Prayin' no one rocks the boat Still, I know this picture's not quite right There's someone on your mind First Christmastime without him by your side, I know The sound of Christmas bells They never say farewell So we laugh, we shed a tear For those who can't be here We're drinkin' sherry just because Confessin' all our Christmas love Watch Home Alone for the thousandth time It's the only movie that we all like But I know, this picture's not quite right There's someone on my mind First Christmastime without him by our side, I know He loved these Christmas bells 'Cause they never say farewell So we laugh, we shed a tear For those who can't be here For those who can't be here For those who can't be here (the bells ring out for them) For those who can't be here (the bells ring out for them) For those who can't be here The bells ring out for them For those who can't be here The bells ring out for them For those who can't be here
