I put up our Christmas tree, like I promised you I'd do
With all your favorite trimmings, golden ribbons lights of blue
I turned on your favorite Christmas songs we played this time of year
It's your first Christmas in Heaven, and I'm sure missing you here

I know that you're real happy, living in your brand new home
One day I will join you and that you can count on
It seemed like only yesterday
You were here and now you're gone
Your first Christmas in Heaven, my first one alone

I went down to the church house where our wedding vows werе made
You'd be proud of our grandkids in their littlе Christmas play
I got so caught up in their program, I turned to speak, but you weren't there
I'm sure I looked real silly trying hard to hide my tears

I know that you're real happy, living in your brand new home
And one day I will join you and that you can count on
You know, it seemed like only yesterday
You were here and now you're gone
Your first Christmas in Heaven, my first one alone

It's your first Christmas in Heaven, my first one alone
I'm so alone
