Lyrics
Mmm... oh... Your red wool scarf is on the hook Still smelling of lavender I found your carol sheet in your coat Soft at the folds, pencil in the margin Your voicemail still says "Merry Christmas, darlings" I play it just to hear you laugh The snow came early, the lights are strung And I keep waiting to hear you First Christmas without her voice Silence where your singing goes No humming down the hallway No off-key on the high notes First Christmas without her voice Oh Grandma, I'm still listening A store plays "Silent Night," I stop mid-aisle Waiting for you to sing right over it The little cousins ask the room "Why is no one humming like last year?" We all look down, nobody moves Nobody wants to start First Christmas without her voice And the world still sounds so fine I want to shout at every speaker Bells keep ringing like nothing's changed Like the song never needed you First Christmas without her voice Oh Grandma, how can it sound so fine Wrapping paper, tape between my teeth I'm humming, and I don't know when I began It's your tune, cracked and warm I catch the high note, bend toward yours And that's you inside my voice First Christmas without her voice I open my mouth, I start the line Your harmony is bending in First Christmas without her voice Let the whole room hear it Warm and cracked and ours Oh Grandma, sing with me now I'll sing it for her Ooh... I'll sing it for her
