[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
Every year around 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
Everyday 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Sail that boat into the red horizon
Those years lost, I'd tell you all about 'em
Gone don't always mean that you disappear
'Cause inside all of us you're still here
[Verse 2]
Another year has passed and now it's time for buying the 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Sail that boat into the red horizon
Those years lost, I'd tell you all about 'em
Gone don't always mean that you disappear
'Cause inside all of us you're still
Wild and free, I've got so many memories
Soon time too will take it all of 'em from me
Gone don't always mean that you disappear
'Cause inside all of us you're still here

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
When it's dark and it's cold, everyone is coming home
I just wish you could know that's when we're missin' 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

[Chorus]
Sail that boat into the red horizon
Those years lost, I'd tell you all about 'em
Gone don't always mean that you disappear
'Cause inside all of us you're still
Wild and free, I've got so many memories
Soon time too will take it all of 'em from me
Gone don't always mean that you disappear
'Cause inside all of us you're still here
