Different Kind Of Christmas Lyrics - Mark Schultz

Snow is falling Christmas Eve 

Lights are coming on up and down the street 

The sound of carols fills the air 

And people rushing home, families everywhere 

Putting candles in the windows 

Lights upon the tree 

But there's no laughter in this house 

Not like there used to be 

There's just a million little memories 

That remind me you're not here 

It's just a different kind of Christmas this year 

In the evening fires glow 

Dancing underneath the mistletoe 

A letter left from Santa Claus 

Won't be the same this year in this house because 

There's one less place set at the table 

One less gift under the tree 

And a brand new way to take their place inside of me 

I'm unwrapping all these memories 

Fighting back the tears 

It's just a different kind of Christmas this year 

There's voices in the driveway 

Families right outside the door 

And we'll try to make this Christmas like the ones we've had before 

As we gather round the table, I see joy on every face 

And I realize what's still alive is the legacy you made 

It's time to put the candles in the windows, the lights upon the tree 

It's time to fill this house with laughter like it used to be 

Just because you're up in heaven, doesn't mean you're not near 

It's just a different kind of Christmas 

It's just a different kind of Christmas this year
