christmas without dad - the stonemans lyrics

[intro verse]
silent night, holy night
all is calm, all is bright…

[spoken verse]
the snow is slowly falling, now
the bells are ringing clear
i know from the sights and sound outside
that christmastime is here
a family used to christmas joy
around an empty rocking chair
because this is the first christmas
that daddy isn’t here
i remember all our christmases
but i have to shed a tear
as i think of the family together
when we trimmed the tree last year
all of us gathered here now
were here one yеar ago
except that pop was sitting there
and talking of long ago
hе talked of when us kids were small
and of waiting for old santa claus
but, when he talked of the year that things went bad
ol’ pop just had to pause
when he started to talk again
a tear rolled down his face
when he told of how him and ma worried about the toys we didn’t get
and the few fruits and nuts that took their place
but then, his face lit up as he remembered how
on christmas morn, we all kissed him and ma
and said it didn’t matter anyhow
that we had the greatest gift that any child ever saw
and that was the only thing we wanted for christmas:
the love of him and ma
the whole family was happy then
as we talked on and on that christmas eve
not knowing that within one year
our dad would have to leave
but, this year, when the angels sing
“peace on earth, goodwill to men”
they’ll sound a little better now
’cause our pop will be joining in
[outro]
…radiant beams from thy holy face
with the dawn of redeeming grace
jesus, lord, at thy birth…
