Hey - it's December - so I'm allowed one slice of Christmas cheese, right?
Pretending You're Still HerePeople push through the shops
To get everything bought
And the mall's playing holiday tunes
I hurry to find
All the things that you like
I'll keep them hidden from sight
Until I'm back in our room
And when I sit by the fire this Christmas
I'll have your presents wrapped, under the tree
But, you're not going to phone
To say that you're coming home
So I'll pretend that you're still here with me
I'll imagine a meal
Like we have every year
And we'll find something good on TV
Then with sleepy eyelids
We'll go up to our bed
I know it's all in my head
But you'll be right there with me
And when I sit by the fire this Christmas
I'll have your presents stacked under the tree
A heart finds a way
To carry on when it breaks
So I'll pretend that you're still here with me
There's a price to be paid
When life is taken away
So heaven must have needed you bad
When December is done
I'll come to grips with this loss
But for now I'll hang on
To the love that we had
You know my heart found a way
To get me through Christmas day
By pretending you're still here with me
My heart found a way
To get me through Christmas day...
I'll just pretend that you're still here with me
