And we'll Ctry to make this Christmas like the Fones we've had before
As we Fgather round the table, I Gsee joy on every face
And AmI realize what's still alive is the Flegacy you Gmade
It's time to put the Fcandles in the Cwindows,
The Glights upon the Amtree
It's time to Ffill this house with Claughter like it Gused to be
Just Fbecause you're up in Cheaven, 
Doesn't Gmean you're not Amnear
It's just a Fdifferent kind of GChristmasAm  G  F  
It's just a Fdifferent kind of GChristmas this Cyear
