It's Not Christmas Without You

Years almost over
Sure looks like December
The snow and ice on the ground
I hadn't sent a single Christmas card
The 31st is coming around
It makes me remember our last December
How the city looks so beautiful in white
As we walked the street that day you kept me warm
We couldn't wait to get inside

Now its Christmas and you're so far away
On this Christmas I just wish you had stayed
And I wonder if you're thinking of me today
I don't know what I'll do its not Christmas without you

I hear carols in the distance
Don't want to listen because every sound says your not here
Just in case you change your mind I'll leave a light over the door
And hope you suddenly appear

Cuz its Christmas and you're so far away
On this Christmas I just wish you had stayed
And I wonder if you're thinking of me today
I don't know what I'll do its not Christmas without you

I'm to old too old to believe in Santa Claus
What are these gifts under the tree
But I did this once
Or many it's a dream, has he really brought you back to me
its Christmas all I wanted is here
On this Christmas was for you to be near
And I wonder if you're thinking of me cuz you're here
My one wish has come true, it's not Christmas without you
