Every year round this time
I start to think about you
We`re really gonna have
Another christmas eve without you
I can`t believe it`s been so long
Every day finds a way to make me
Think about you
Like today when we were
Picking out the tree without you
I can`t believe it`s been so long
Oh we miss you like hell
All the stories that you`d tell
`Bout the boat that you built
But never got to sail
I don`t know whether I should
Cry or I should smile through my tears
But if you were here we would
Sail that boat into the red horizon
Those years lost I`d tell you all about `em
Gone don`t always mean
That you disappeared
`Cause inside all of us you`re still here
Another year has passed
And now it`s time for buying presents
I even got you one
Forgetting you`re not gonna get it
I can`t believe it`s been so long
This time around we`ll try to smile
`Cause we`re sick of tears
Most days are easy now
But it gets hard this time of year
I can`t believe you`re really gone
Oh we miss you like hell
All the stories that you`d tell
`Bout the boat that you built
But never got to sail
I don`t know whether I should
Cry or I should smile through my tears
But if you were here we would
Sail that boat into the red horizon
Those years lost I`d tell you all about `em
Gone don`t always mean
That you disappeared
`Cause inside all of us you`re still
Wild and free I`ve got so many memories
Soon time too will take all of them from me
Gone don`t always mean
That you disappeared
`Cause inside all of us you`re still here
When it`s dark and it`s cold
Everyone is coming home
I just wish you could know this
When we`re missing you the most
I don`t know whether I should
Cry or I should smile through my tears
But if you were here we would
Sail that boat into the red horizon
Those years lost I`d tell you all about `em
Gone don`t always mean
That you disappeared
`Cause inside all of us you`re still
Wild and free I`ve got so many memories
Soon time too will take all of them from me
Gone don`t always mean
That you disappeared
`Cause inside all of us you`re still here
