Lyrics:
Empty Stockings
(Kayanek/Besley)
Empty stockings all hung by the chimney with care
Children hoping that Santa Claus knows they are there
The mere mention of Christmas brings Momma to tears
It’s been such a difficult year
Christmas is a time for giving
Helping those who need a hand
Celebrate the life you’re living
Fill their empty stockings if you can
Momma works doubles trying to make extra tips
Daddy can’t find a job and he can’t get a grip
Now the holiday blues have displaced Christmas cheer
It’s been such a difficult year
Christmas is a time for giving
Helping those who need a hand
Celebrate the life you’re living
Fill their empty stockings if you can
You can make a difference in their lives
Help to make it better when you realize
Christmas is a time for giving
Helping those who need a hand
Celebrate the life you’re living
Lend a hand when you can
