My First Christmas Without You

MY FIRST CHRISTMAS WITHOUT YOU
(c) 2008 Mark McDonell/JK Gulley

Verse 1
Now here we are, it’s almost Christmas, and you are on my mind
I watch the first snow flake falling, and it takes me back in time
Oh we always spent this holiday together
Shopping for gifts in the cold December weather

Pre Chorus 1
Your bright eyes and sweet smile have not graced me for a year
And I’m a’wishing, you were here

Chorus 1
Underneath my tree, gifts of gold and red and green
But my heart is wrapped in blue
This is my first Christmas without you

Verse 2
As I walk alone through this city, the carols fill the streets
And the music takes me back, as my eyes get a little weak
Well my time with you was such a precious thing
But the seasons change and you don’t know what they’ll bring

Chorus 2
Oh underneath my tree, gifts of gold and red and green
But my heart is wrapped in blue
This is my first Christmas without you
Bridge
And as the snow starts falling down, Silver bells fill this town
And I’m wishing, you were here

Chorus 3
Oh underneath my tree, gifts of gold and red and green
But my heart is wrapped in blue
This is my first Christmas without you
Oh my heart is wrapped in blue
This is my first Christmas without you
