I never needed Christmas
The way I need it now
This year feels like forever
But we'll get through somehow
Cause I hear sleigh bells ringing
All across the town
I never needed Christmas
The way I need it now
Now there are too many empty chairs
But each empty chair
Holds a memory
I light a candle the way we used to do
And I still feel you here with me
I nearly had forgotten
What this season's all about
I've learned that faith is fragile
Seen the darkest clouds
But as we near December
Hope is all around
I never needed Christmas
The way I need it now
I never needed Christmas
The way I need it now
