And its sweet flickering candlelight on stands on these walls?

If I could go back to any place in mind,

Or is this the room where we learned how to give?

Boxes with ribbons and presents within.

With the candles for the reindeer and whiskey for Saint Nick.

And we sang to the cinders and logs on the fire,

While the TV ran repeats of It's A Wonderful Life.

Where Mom held your hand from dusk until light.
           G                             C          G
Now at the head of our table, there's an empty chair.

Who on this green earth will carve the turkey this year?
