This Time Of Year

There's an angel on the tree
 Presents on the floor
 Mistletoe above the kitchen door
 And the kids are playing games
 And the turkey's going gold
 Mariah Carey's on the radio
 I'm pouring everybody a drink
 But I'm holding back the tears as I think about
 How Grandad liked the whiskey
 And Grandma liked the gin
 And Uncle Johnny wasn't fussed
 He'd drink anything
 So let's raise a glass to all those
 We wish were sitting here
 The ones we miss the most this time of year
 Well, I still hear their voices laughing
 At the Christmas-cracker jokes
 See their footsteps sinking in the snow
 'Cause all the magic in December
 Seems to bring them back to life
 For a moment they're all with me by my side
 I'm pouring everybody a drink
 But I'm holding back the tears as I think about
 How Grandad liked the whiskey
 And Grandma liked the gin
 And Uncle Johnny wasn't fussed
 He'd drink anything
 So let's raise a glass to all those
 We wish were sitting here
 The ones we miss the most this time of year
 And let's make sure we're making memories good enough to last
 Let's make this year the best we've ever had
 'Cause one day I'll be laughing with you somewhere from the past
 So will you raise a glass for me?
 You know I like a whiskey
 And mum, she likes a gin
 Our little cousin's still too young
 But maybe just a sip
 And let's all enjoy the moment
 Before it disappears
 With the ones we love the most this time of year
 Let's raise a glass to all those
 We wish were sitting here
 The ones we miss the most this time of year
