• Its not the same this year
    But at least now theres no more fear
    My grandmother has passed away now
    And me and the family have nothing but frowns

    We're trying hard to get in the Christmas Spirit
    The Christmas Carols play
    But we just don't wanna hear it
    It was better when we could hear her sing it

    The Tree is up
    And the lights are glistening
    More music is playing but I'm still not listening
    Its too sad this year without her here
    The smiles about the homemade chocolate pies now turne to tears

    I had allready picked her present out
    Velvet pajama's I had planned to get
    I just was hoping the fever wouldn't make them too warm
    She could really use them now, down in that deep cold ground

    But I think she'll be ok
    Cause a heart of gold never goes cold
    And what am I thinking she's having a better Christmas then me
    She's not in the ground, only her bones
    Her spirit is in Heaven dancing the streets of gold
    With my papaw singing in that warm sugar snow
