Story Behind The Song

Separation at Christmas is the hardest time for lovers - perhaps he's serving in the forces, far away from home? She is writing her message in a Christmas card, and she is lost for words to express how much she's missing him.

Lyrics

SEND ME A KISS FOR CHRISTMAS

No verse inside this Christmas card
Could possibly explain how hard
Surviving is, without you here
Each day feels like another year.

I'm lost for words, what can I write?
Wish you were coming home tonight
You're far away
And so my darling I'll just say:

Chorus 1
" Send me a kiss for Christmas"
I'm going to miss you so much
No-one to hold, the night's so cold
It's hard to sleep here on my own.
Send me a kiss for Christmas
That's all I need to keep warm
Until the day you come back and then
I'll never let you go again.

Everyone's been so very kind
They ask about you all the time
They tell me don't forget to call
If I should need their help at all.

So don't you worry, I'll be OK
I'm counting the days 'til you're home to stay
Just come back safe
That's all I pray.

Chorus 2
" Send me a kiss for Christmas"
I'm going to miss you so much
No-one to hold, the night's so cold
It's hard to sleep here on my own.
Send me a kiss for Christmas
That's all I need to keep warm
Until the day you come back and then
I'll never let you go, never let you go
Never let you go again.

I'm lost for words, what can I write?
Wish you were coming home tonight

Repeat Chorus 2

I'm lost for words, what can I write?
Wish you were coming home tonight......

Send me a kiss for Christmas
I'm going to miss you so much,

Repeat these last two lines, to fade out
