Lyrics
I can't seem to find the festivity
That traditionally defines this season
My shoulders stoop against the cold
And I understand the reason
Why I'm down
It doesn't feel like New Year's without the Big Guy
I just don't feel inspired much this year
I'm sure they'll be parades
And college football games
But the absence of his presence still clouds the day with pain
It doesn't feel like New Year's without the Big Guy
No smells of pork and kraut perfume the air
No sneaking out for booze
Or laughing at the news
No Cowboys coat or travelers' hat or kicked off monster shoes
His loved ones know that life will change without him
Though we're grateful for the time that he was here
And though next year we will laugh and tell his stories
Sadness is where I'm coming from this year
It doesn't feel like New Year's without the Big Guy
The plans we had for this year are all gone
But the grandkids will carry on
Far beyond what we have known
And they'll cherish all the moments they enjoyed with you alone
It doesn't feel like New Year's without the Big Guy, at all...
