Everything's Changed at Christmas but You

Now the kids are growing old
 They've got stories of their own
 No more hiding presents in the closet
 No more waiting up all night
 Staring at the firelight
 Little footsteps giving way to silence
 Where there once were many stockings
 Now there's only two
 Everything's changed at Christmas but you.
 Gathered 'round as evening fell
 Listening to your father tell
 Stories that would find us in our dreams
 Family holding hands to pray
 Life's not like this every day
 Every smile is more than it seems
 Say a prayer for all the ones
 Who've gone away too soon
 Everything's changed at Christmas but you.
 Take the lights from off the roof
 Aches and pains and living proof
 We're not as young as we used to be
 Stories that have been revised
 Movies I don't recognize
 Songs I can't help singing out of tune
 Everything's changed at Christmas
 Everything's changed at Christmas but you
