There is an emptiness on holidays
When one you loves not there
You all can not help but notice
There is one vacant chair
It stands alone in the corner
the story it tells
There is one soul that is missing
That is the emptiness you felt

We try and go on like before
but it will never be the same
The family chains been broken
there is now one less name
There is hope we will be together again
Up there on heaven's shore
We will rest from all our toils and cares
we will separate no more

Even though we just can not understand
why life must be this way
Why we have to say good-bye
There is just no easy way
We know death is not the end
It is still hard to let go
We are left with emptiness
while left here below
