Lyrics

That Christmas was different
We lingered in the kitchen
We hugged a little tighter
Held tears back like a fighter

The dinner prayer was somber
Lasted a little longer
We all knew it would never be the same
No one to pass the bread to by their name

One day you’ll want to say
Your unspoken words
And it will be heard
By an empty chair
Said to the air

Don’t wait ‘til it’s too late
Take a seat
And say your peace
Nothing left unsaid
No regret

Bring them flowers they can smell
Hugs that can be felt
Words that they can hear
Stories to be shared

You’ll pick up the phone to call
Then remember why their phone’s off
The words you want to say
Go say them today

It’s a blessing when you hear
That you mattered to someone near
Made some kind of difference
A legacy of reverence

One day you’ll want to say
Your unspoken words
And it will be heard
By an empty chair
Said to the air

Don’t wait ‘til it’s too late
Take a seat
And say your peace
Nothing left unsaid
No regret

Bring them flowers they can smell
Hugs that can be felt
Words that they can hear
Stories to be shared

Before it’s too late…
Say what you want to say
What you want to say
Say what you want to say

Flowers they can smell
Hugs that can be felt
Words that they can hear
Stories to be shared

Don’t wait
Don’t wait

Flowers they can smell
Hugs that can be felt
Words that they can hear

Before it becomes an empty chair
