My Dad died in October of 2013 & my Uncle died unexpectedly in November 2013. I wrote this song about them around Thanksgiving that same year.

Christmas In Kentucky – Music & Lyrics - Written by Gerry Hyde
And it’s Christmas in Kentucky
But it sure don’t seem like
The holidays are here
Cause when you’re missing loved ones
Your cup is not so full
Of Christmas cheer
Yes it’s Christmas, in Kentucky
But this time, it’s gonna
Be all different this year
It’s hard for me, to accept all the changes
And not want to just go
huntin’ Reindeer
Another Christmas in Kentucky
Watching the snow
Turn in to drizzling rain
Another Christmas in Kentucky
I wish that Santa would come along
And take away all the pain
No one said that life is easy
Or that it would be all fun
Now Another Christmas, in Kentucky
Has got me on the run
Just Another Christmas in Kentucky
But it won’t be the same
Without the ones that are gone
And This will be, the 1st Christmas for me
Since they
Left me, down here on my own
Just another Christmas, in Kentucky
All the leaves have all fallen
And the sky has turned pale grey
And if wasn’t for my children
I’d really have no
Other Reason to stay
Another Christmas in Kentucky
Watching the snow
Turn in to drizzling rain
Another Christmas in Kentucky
I wish My Dad would come along
And take away all the pain
No one said that life is easy
Or that it would be all fun
Now Another Christmas in Kentucky
Has got me under the gun
Yes it’s Christmas, in Kentucky
But this time it’s gonna
Be different this year
And it’s Christmas in Kentucky
But it sure don’t seem like
The holidays are here
