First Christmas

This is my first Christmas without you.
I never realized how lonely I was 'til I saw a couple
Walking down the street, arm in arm, smiling at each other.
It's my first Christmas without you.

All I have is your memory, that lives in my heart, today;
Not a present to buy, not one little thing to wrap,
No decorations on the tree do I have.
It's my first Christmas without you.

I know I'm not alone, not being with the one we love.
But, somehow, they still go on.
Just one more day, a month, a year ~
Then, it's another Christmas without you.

Someday, at another time, another place, another year,
We will join together, once again.
There will be bells ringing and Angels singing.
What a day that Christmas will be!
