Lyrics
The Star?s Not on the Tree this Year
Families warm with laughter
Pray for peace on Earth
Prayers won?t bring you back here
Tell me what they?re worth
Christmastime together
Christmastime alone
Your baby needs his father
The one?s he?s never known
The star?s not on the tree this year
No snowman?s on the lawn
Your medals guard the mantle
It?s Christmas and you?re gone
Young and proud and handsome
A tender, loving soul
We made our lives together
Together we were whole
Questions without answers
Snowflakes turn to rain
Loneliness, so bitter cold
Nothing else remains
The star?s not on the tree this year
No snowman?s on the lawn
Your medals guard the mantle
It?s Christmas and you?re gone
Christmas carols fill the air
Glad tidings and good cheer
But all I have?s your photograph
And emptiness and tears
The star?s not on the tree this year
No snowman?s on the lawn
Your medals guard the mantle
It?s Christmas and you?re gone
A gold star?s in the window
To tell the world you?re gone
