Missing In The Merriment

The carols sing of joy and cheer But all I feel is you're not here The twinkling lights they do not glow Cause deep inside it's dark you know The snowflakes fall like dreams undone Lost in the crowd yet feeling none Couldn't keep my heart at bay In the silent night I lost my way Searching for your face in shadows cast Holding on to moments gone so fast Every smile a veil of what's been lost In the festive night I bear the cost The laughter rolls like heedless waves But my heart's in hidden caves Empty seats at table's end Wish that time could just rewind and mend Every ornament they hang with care Reminds me how you're not there In a room full of sparkling lights I fade away in winter nights Searching for your face in shadows cast Holding on to moments gone so fast Every smile a veil of what's been lost In the festive night I bear the cost
