Empty Stockings

The lights are twinkling but I feel so low Last Christmas Eve you held me close We sang by the fire hot cocoa in hand Now it's just me in this quiet land Empty stockings hang on the wall Echoes of laughter now a distant call I'll hang them up for the love that we had But these empty stockings just make me so sad Remember the snowflakes dancing around Building our memories never let down Your smile was brighter than the stars above Now I'm left searching for lost Christmas love Empty stockings hang on the wall Echoes of laughter now a distant call I'll hang them up for the love that we had But these empty stockings just make me so sad I hear your voice in the carols we played Our favorite song on that cold holiday Each jingle bell rings but it's bittersweet As I trace your name in the snow at my feet Empty stockings hang on the wall Echoes of laughter now a distant call I'll hang them up for the love that we had But these empty stockings just make me so sad So I'll raise a glass to the ghosts of our past The joy that we shared how I wish it could last I'll keep the lights on though the warmth is gone In this quiet house I'll still sing our song Empty stockings but my love lives on
