FOR THOSE WHO CAN’T BE HERE As recorded by Tom Walker (2021 release) [Intro] [Verse 1] We put the lights up on the tree And all the presents underneath Light the fire it’s getting cold Another year of "Will it snow?" Mixing lager and champagne Somethin’ I’ll never do again Round the table banter flows Praying no one rocks the boat [Chorus] Still I know this picture’s not quite right There’s someone on your mind First Christmas time without him by your side I know The sound of Christmas bells They never say farewell So we laugh we shed a tear For those who can’t be here [Verse 2] We’re drinking sherry just because Confessing all our Christmas love Watch Home Alone for the thousandth time It’s the only movie that we all like [Chorus] But I know this picture’s not quite right There’s someone on my mind First Christmas time without him by our side I know He loved these Christmas bells ’Cause they never say farewell So we laugh we shed a tear For those who can’t be here [Interlude]      [Outro] For those who can’t be here       For those who can’t be here (The bells ring out for them) For those who can’t be here (The bells ring out for them) For those who can’t be here The bells ring out for them For those who can’t be here The bells ring out for them For those who can’t be here
