The first time the leaves turn brown Without you The first time the snow falls down Without you Steady the earth seems to turn When it feels like the end The end of my world Christmas won't feel the same Without you The world doesn't feel so safe Without you The date of your birthday draws near But you'll never gain one more year Though it's hard sometimes I always tend to smile But the pain lies just beneath the surface all the time And I know that time is a healer yet it's my greatest enemy 'Cause every new day takes you further away from me Away from me It's funny how life goes on Without you And everyone rushes on Around you Is it really a year since you've passed Oh I can't believe it went so fast Though it's hard sometimes I always tend to smile But the pain lies just beneath the surface all the time And I know that time is a healer yet it's my greatest enemy 'Cause every new day takes you further away from me Away from me Away from me How I wish that I could talk to you once more Or see you smiling at me coming through the door But this trip is a one way ticket and deep inside I know That every new day bit by bit I let you go I let you go
