I’ll think of you on Christmas Eve
All the presents I won’t give you
All the smiles we won’t be sharing
And your absence under the mistletoe
It’s our first Christmas
With your smile only from above
Under the tree, all the treasures
And your last present, by the stove
Our first Christmas… without you
The children are all grown by now
Santa comes, his sleigh straight from you
All the smiles you will be giving
And your presence around us — a blessing
It’s our first Christmas
With your smile only from above
Under the tree, all the treasures
And your last present, by the stove
Our first Christmas… without you
(bridge)
It’s our first Christmas
With your smile always in my heart
Under the roof, all forgiveness
And you’ll always be there in sight
Ne’er a Christmas… without you
