The Last Christmas
I feel your heart beating inside my own skin
And I think of Mary in Bethlehem
That night in a stable our Saviour was born
Yes, we have so much to be thankful for
On the last Christmas, the last Christmas
The last Christmas without you
They’re choosing the colors, preparing your room
For one day midsummer the advent of you
Together we wait for a heavenly gift
Is winter a wonder? Enchanted that this is
The last Christmas, the last Christmas
The last Christmas without you
See the stars shining from above
Hear the Seraphim singing
Praise to the Giver of life and love
Maker of beautiful things
I feel your heart beating inside my own skin
And I think of Mary in Bethlehem
When darkness was shattered the dawn of God’s grace
And the journey began to the first Easter Day
On this last Christmas, the last Christmas
The last Christmas, the very last Christmas
The last Christmas, the last Christmas
The last Christmas without you
Listen to the song

About the carol The Last Christmas
“The Last Christmas” is a Christmas song recorded by the American alternative rock band Sixpence None the Richer. The song is different from Wham!’s similarly titled “Last Christmas” and presents its own interpretation of the holiday season through the band’s gentle alternative-pop style.
The song reflects on memories, relationships and the emotions connected with Christmas. Like many holiday songs, it uses the season as a setting for personal reflection, exploring feelings of love, change and the passing of time. Its softer arrangement creates a thoughtful atmosphere rather than a traditional festive celebration.
Sixpence None the Richer’s style gives the song a calm and emotional quality. Its connection to Christmas comes from its seasonal themes and reflective approach. The song represents the quieter side of holiday music, focusing on memories and emotions that often become stronger during the Christmas season.
