Last christmas, do you remember?
We were so happy, since November.
Last Christmas, so calm, so bright, so true.
We were together, but we never knew.
Last christmas, everything was so obvious.
Not for one minute were we really serious.
Last christmas, so close and yet so far away.
I miss it almost every day.

The tree, decorated and proud.
The music in the background, not loud.
The scent, the warmth – it filled the air,
I wish it felt like that everywhere.
We told our stories from the year gone past,
And realized how time moves fast.

Last christmas, do you remember?
We were so happy, since November.
Last Christmas, so calm, so bright, so true.
We were together, but we never knew.
Last christmas, everything was so obvious.
Not for one minute were we really serious.
Last christmas, so close and yet so far away.
I miss it almost every day.

The gifts were waiting beneath the tree.
Your smile lit up the world for me.
It wasn’t what you wished to get,
But you just laughed and said, “Don’t fret.”
I felt the tears, you held me tight.
And suddenly, the world felt right.

Last christmas, do you remember?
We were so happy, since November.
Last Christmas, so calm, so bright, so true.
We were together, but we never knew.
Last christmas, everything was so obvious.
Not for one minute were we really serious.
Last christmas, so close and yet so far away.
I miss it almost every day.

What we didn’t know back then.
Your year would end at month number ten.
Without warning and through no fault of your own.
We were suddenly left alone.

Last Christmas, I remember.
We were so happy, since November.
Last Christmas, so calm, so bright, so true.
We were together – I still miss you.
Last Christmas, everything felt so clear.
Not for a moment did we see the fear.
Last christmas, so close and yet so far away.
I miss you more each day.
