The lights are twinkling but I feel so low
Last Christmas Eve you held me close
We sang by the fire hot cocoa in hand
Now it's just me in this quiet land
Empty stockings hang on the wall
Echoes of laughter now a distant call
I'll hang them up for the love that we had
But these empty stockings just make me so sad
Remember the snowflakes dancing around
Building our memories never let down
Your smile was brighter than the stars above
Now I'm left searching for lost Christmas love
Empty stockings hang on the wall
Echoes of laughter now a distant call
I'll hang them up for the love that we had
But these empty stockings just make me so sad
I hear your voice in the carols we played
Our favorite song on that cold holiday
Each jingle bell rings but it's bittersweet
As I trace your name in the snow at my feet
Empty stockings hang on the wall
Echoes of laughter now a distant call
I'll hang them up for the love that we had
But these empty stockings just make me so sad
So I'll raise a glass to the ghosts of our past
The joy that we shared how I wish it could last
I'll keep the lights on though the warmth is gone
In this quiet house I'll still sing our song
Empty stockings but my love lives on
