Times of loving are gone
no children playing
no cheerful song
this empty holiday has just begun

I stand where I used to but it doesn't feel the same
my family is gone, there's nothing left to gain
I wanted to be alone
but my thoughts were in vain
another empty moment...

When it happened
silent tears of joy ran down my face
now everything seems out of place
another empty moment...

I used to have people who cared
but the word love to me
also meant scared
they said it
but to me it lacked meaning
seeming emotionless while tears were streaming
EMPTINESS...

I thought I would be lucky if they were all gone
now I realize
that I was so very wrong
on this empty holiday
no laughter...
no song...
this empty holiday has just begun
