There's an angel on the tree Presents on the floor Mistletoe above the kitchen door And the kids are playing games And the turkey's going gold Mariah Carey's on the radio I'm pouring everybody a drink But I'm holding back the tears as I think about How Grandad liked the whiskey And Grandma liked the gin And Uncle Johnny wasn't fussed He'd drink anything So let's raise a glass to all those We wish were sitting here The ones we miss the most this time of year Well, I still hear their voices laughing At the Christmas-cracker jokes See their footsteps sinking in the snow 'Cause all the magic in December Seems to bring them back to life For a moment they're all with me by my side I'm pouring everybody a drink But I'm holding back the tears as I think about How Grandad liked the whiskey And Grandma liked the gin And Uncle Johnny wasn't fussed He'd drink anything So let's raise a glass to all those We wish were sitting here The ones we miss the most this time of year And let's make sure we're making memories good enough to last Let's make this year the best we've ever had 'Cause one day I'll be laughing with you somewhere from the past So will you raise a glass for me? You know I like a whiskey And mum, she likes a gin Our little cousin's still too young But maybe just a sip And let's all enjoy the moment Before it disappears With the ones we love the most this time of year Let's raise a glass to all those We wish were sitting here The ones we miss the most this time of year
