Lyrics
At this time of year, when there's so much cheer, tell me
Why do I feel so blue
I should be happy, cause it's that time of year
But all I can do is wish that you were here
Maybe I waited a little to long, to tell you I love you
I wonder what would have happened if I did
I can't blame you for running to him now baby
But I sure wish you never did
I don't want to spend another Christmas without you
No no no, I don't want to be alone
I'd do anything to make you believe me
Anything just to bring you home
The sweetness is gone, from the candy canes
And those old familiar songs, just don't feel the same
The tree might as well not even be there, the lights might as not well be on
I'm telling you girl, Christmas ain't the same with you gone
I don't want to spend another Christmas without you
No no no, I don't want to be alone
I'd do anything to make you believe me
Anything just to bring you home
Maybe I waited a little to long to tell you I love you
I wonder what would have happened if I did
I can't blame you for running to him now baby
I sure wish you never did, yeah
