Those Who Didn't Arrive

2023's Christmas song, written by Jamie and Paul Milburn. Lyrics: Feeling awful, feeling numb Feeling sadness over someone Oh the emptiness inside Has left me cold To think about the many who won’t grow old What’s the use in Merry Christmas and the sentiment it brings? What’s the point in singing Christmas songs? And who likes carolling? It’s the ones who have a family, it’s the ones who love them so It’s the ones who sing "White Christmas" when there’s seldom any snow It’s beginning to look a lot like just another time of year When you don’t miss any presents and there presence isn’t here I’ve been dreaming of a night when they would magically appear And they tell me not to worry, have no fear Because once a year we all appear To find our way to Christmas day We’re the ones who made it out alive Here’s to those who didn’t arrive Feeling pointless, feeling rough Life disappoints us, life is tough And though the tears they may have dried the pain lives on Laced within the memories of a time before you were gone Oh I wish it could be different but alas it isn’t so So forget the decorations kiss goodbye to mistletoe All I want for each and everyone is peace and love tonight And the strength to rediscover that the world’s still full of light It’s beginning to look a lot like just another time of year When you don’t miss any presents and there presence isn’t here I’ve been dreaming of a night when they would magically appear And they tell me not to worry; have no fear Because once a year we all appear To find our way to Christmas day We’re the ones who made it out alive Here’s to those who didn’t arrive Because once a year we all appear To find our way to Christmas day We’re the ones who made it out alive Here’s to those who didn’t arrive La la la la la x6
