Lyrics
Missing You At Christmas
Verse
The tall pine tree is cut down
The lights are on display
Greens and tinsels shining
But all I see is gray...
A1
Missing you at Christmas
Now you're far away
The city feels so lonely
On this Christmas Day...
A2
Will I get a phone call?
Did you get my card?
This missing you at Christmas
Makes the wait so hard.
Bridge
I hope you see a snowfall
Or a cozy light
Here's hoping that your Christmas
Will be a peaceful night.
A3
I will wait for you love
Till that day you're here
No missing you at Christmas
Christmas time next year.
Repeat Bridge and A3 (new 3'rd line-Safe and warm at Christmas)
Tag...
Missing you at Christmas, (3X) this year.
Music and lyrics: Edmond Paul Nicodemi
