**[Verse 1 – Female]**  

Dad, we still remember those December nights  
When we got our first yard art, and made the world so bright  
We remember picking out our christmas tree   
and once you got it in that stand, how it stood perfectly

**[Verse 1 – Male]**  

You kept us safe, even when the weather got wild  
Those Louisville highways,  on sheets of ice sliding for miles  
We’d watch that bungee'd TV  as you’d watch the road ahead  
Somehow you always knew how to keep us warm and fed  

**[Pre-Chorus – Both]**  

Now the tree shines a little brighter,  
With new faces side by side  
Negin, Sean, Samantha laughing underneath the lights  
And though Gramere and Uncle Don aren’t here to hold—  
We still feel them in your stories told  

**[Chorus – Both]**  

Every day with you is like Christmas
We never went without
You worked so hard to give us the world
Even when times were tough
All the years and all the laughter
Every gift wrapped up in love
Every day with you is like Christmas
Dad, we love you so much

**[Verse 2 – Female]**  

Now there’s a grandkid on the way, a brand-new gift to share  
The Heil family’s growing, more love everywhere  
Early Christmas mornings, you’d always set the tone  
Dad your heart’s the place we’ll always call home  

**[Verse 2 – Male]**  

All those little moments, one big gift for Mom  
You made every wish come true, and helped us when things went wrong  
Now we're grown and on our own, your love still lights the way  
With you here, Dad, it’s Christmas every day  

**[Pre-Chorus – Both]**  

You read us The night before Christmas,  
next to our perfect tree  
The stories and the laughter,  
The traditions and memories 
Family wrapped around you, just like you always planned—  
Still your kids, still holding your hand  

**[Chorus – Both]**  

Every day with you is like Christmas
We never went without
You worked so hard to give us the world
Even when times were tough
All the years and all the laughter
Every gift wrapped up in love
Every day with you is like Christmas
Dad, we love you so much

**[Bridge – Both – Gentle Harmony]**  

And when the stars shine bright above December’s silent night  
We thank our lucky hearts you’re here,  
Dad, our guiding light  

**[Chorus – Both – Build and Repeat]**  

Every day with you is like Christmas
We never went without
You worked so hard to give us the world
Even when times were tough
All the years and all the laughter
Every gift wrapped up in love
Every day with you is like Christmas
Dad, we love you so much

**[Outro – Both, softly]**  

Every day with you is like Christmas  
Dad, we love you so much
