The house is filled with Christmas cheer
The lights on the tree twinkle like a star
The candy bowls are full
Yet my heart feels so bare
I’m just not in the Christmas spirt this year
I hung the stockings with great care
The kids are grown
They’ve all left home
No more babies or kids running around
As I sit here I frown
This year has been hard
I’ve let down my guard
Now all I do is sit in the yard
I pray that tomorrow will bring a better day
And my heart will be filled with Christmas joy
Maybe Santa will even bring me a toy
