lyrics

Christmas is here, and there goes another year
On the radio the same damn song that everyone still sings along on cue
It’s a script I know well, and I play my part like everybody else
But we lost a major player this year
Who could never be replaced

I don’t hear sleigh bells, I hear an angel
Laughing at the table, when we were young and he was able
I don’t see snowflakes, I see his face
When we were young and he was well
I don’t hear sleigh bells

Set up the stage, put on a resting Christmas face
All the lights, the shiny things, used to be the biggest parts for me
But then you grow up and you stop and think what the hell do we do this for?
We do it for the ones we love
Still here or watching up above

I don’t hear sleigh bells, I hear an angel
Laughing at the table, when we were young and he was able
I don’t see snowflakes, I see his face
When we were young and he was
When we were young and he was well
I don’t hear sleigh bells
