The Season Brought Us Home
A touching Christmas ballad about family coming home, empty chairs being filled again, and the sweet sound of grandchildren’s laughter returning to brighten the holidays.
LYRICS
[Verse]
Empty chairs at Christmas time,
Photos fading on our wall.
Phone calls getting shorter now,
Distance took away it all.
[Chorus]
But this year everything has changed.
Old Tim and Mary’s house is full again.
No more lonely holiday days,
Now home rings with children’s laughter.
The season brought them back to stay!
[Verse]
Little feet run through our snow,
Baking cookies every day.
Watching grand-kids grow up strong,
No more moments slip away.
[Chorus]
Yes this year everything has changed.
Old Tim and Mary’s house is full again.
No more lonely holiday days,
Now home rings with children’s laughter.
The season brought them back to stay!
[Bridge]
Sometimes the greatest gifts arrive
When families choose to change their lives.
To bridge the distance, heal what’s wrong,
Now we’re together, Christmas strong!
[Final Chorus]
Oh this year everything has changed.
Old Tim and Mary’s house is full again.
No more lonely holiday days,
Now home rings with children’s laughter.
The season brought them back to stay!
Our family’s finally home to stay…
Our family’s finally home to stay.
[Outro]
Little feet run through our snow,
Baking cookies every day,
Watching grand-kids grow up strong,
No more moments slip away!
[Instrumental Outro]

This song hit me right in the feels. As a mom living far from my own parents, the lyrics about the empty chairs and then filling up again with laughter and love, it’s exactly what I hope for our family this Christmas. Makes me want to book tickets home right away. SupaBees did a wonderful job capturing that yearning and joy.
Couldn’t agree more, EllieM. As someone who feels deeply moved by music, this one speaks volumes about family bonds. It’s refreshing to see songs with such heart.
Yeah, I agree, family time is everything!
there’s something so timeless about a song that brings out the spirit of a family christmas. old tim and mary’s story kinda feels like my own grandparents’. really makes you appreciate those times together.
The part about ‘little feet run through our snow’ gets me every time. Miss those days at my grandparents. This song’s a reminder of what’s important. Cheers, SupaBees, for this gem.
Feel this so much, Jaxon_98. It’s my first Christmas away from home and it’s tough. Music like this brings a bit of comfort though.
Same here! It’s bittersweet but glad we have songs like these.
You made the list as a TOP comment! Thanks.
Reading the lyrics to the Christmas ballad really hit home for me. We’ve had our share of empty chairs during the holidays, especially last year. It’s stories like this that remind me how important family gatherings are. I can’t wait to have the house full again this Christmas. Thanks for sharing, SupaBees.
i get the sentiment behind the song, really, but it feels a bit too sugar-coated for me. not every family gathering is all cookies and laughter. some of us have complicated relationships that don’t magically heal over christmas cookies. still, i guess the tune’s catchy enough for those who enjoy that sort of thing.
I understand where you’re coming from, but sometimes a little sugar-coating isn’t so bad. Brings a bit of hope, ya know?
grumpy_gus72 has a point, not all experiences can align with the ideal holiday scenario. But it’s lyrics; it’s meant to evoke a feeling rather than be taken as literal truth.
The musical structure of this ballad, as described in the lyrics, showcases a classic approach to evoking nostalgia and warmth associated with the holiday season. The repetition of the chorus amplifies the thematic element of family reunion, instilling a longing for togetherness that many listeners can relate to. It’s a clever blend of narrative and melody that hits right in the feels. While the storytelling may lean into idealistic territory, the underlying message about valuing family and moments together is universally appealing.
Just read the part about the holiday homecoming and it’s exactly the kind of story I needed today! There’s nothing like the warmth of family to make the holidays special. Thanks for sharing, SupaBees!
Absolutely, there’s a unique feeling of love and belonging that you get from being around family during the holidays. Such stories hit right in the feels.
Oh wow, another story about how ‘love conquers distance’. Groundbreaking. Haven’t heard this one before. But hey, if it floats your boat, sail on, SupaBees.
I’m curious, what inspired you to write about this theme, SupaBees? Is there a personal story behind the holiday homecoming narrative? Would love to know more about the muse behind the masterpiece.
QueryQueen101, that’s such an insightful question! I also feel there’s always a deep story behind such emotive pieces. Can’t wait to hear more about this.
Yeah, spill the beans, SupaBees. Everyone loves a good backstory. Makes the main story twice as interesting.
