[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
[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

What did Tom Walker say about "For Those Who Can't Be Here"?
I wrote this song last year after we lost my grandad, it was a tough time for everyone but especially my mum. I wanted to write this song for her as I can’t imagine how difficult it is to have a parent or a loved one absent at Christmas for the first time. My Gran always raises a glass every year ar...
