An empty chair awaits me,

in heaven at this time.

To be beside the one I lost,

last year at Christmastime.

 

My loved one went ahead of me,

to sit by Jesus’ throne.

The empty chair beside me,

reminds me, I'm alone.

 

Alone, but not forgotten,

for I know you're next to me.

Not visible to my eyes,

but by spirit I can see.

 

Oh, what a glorious place,

with Jesus by your side.

The place that we call heaven,

is now where you reside.

 

It doesn't seem that long ago,

you went to Heaven on high

So sad I was to loose you;

I never wanted to say good-bye.

 

This empty chair remains,

but memories are in my heart.

For when I join you in Heaven,

we'll never have to part.
