Lyrics

Verse:
Put away the stockings, and take down the tree,
Cos it don't feel like Christmas Eve, when you're not here to be with me
I'm waiting by the window as the snow starts to fall
And wishing that I could be sure, that you'll come knocking on my door,

Bridge
Tell me you're on your way
I need to know that you're okay and you'll be back for Christmas day.
I know the snow's to blame,
But it just doesn't feel the same, when you're not here to call my name

Chorus
It doesn't feel like Christmas without you,
The lights upon the Christmas tree won't shine until you're here with me
It doesn't feel like Christmas without you,
And I'll be waiting all night long until you're right here where you belong.

Verse
It's getting close to midnight and I'm close to tears,
Wishing I could have you here, not knowing if you're far or near.
I'm trying hard to reach you won't you pick up the phone,
And tell me that you're nearly home, so I won't be here on my own.


Bridge
You should be here with me,
Watching films and drinking tea, lighting up the Christmas tree,
And now it's getting late, been sitting here since it turned 8
How long do I have to wait?

Repeat Chorus

Verse:
Suddenly I shiver, there's a key in the door,
The sound of footsteps on the floor and I'm not crying anymore.
I run into the kitchen so excited to see
That you are smiling back at me, standing where you're meant to be.

Bridge
Oh and it feels so right, kissing in this pool of light,
Being held this Christmas night.
We're both where we should be, being apart has made me see
Love's the best gift and it's free.

Repeat Chorus twice

I'm hanging up the stockings and I'm lighting up the tree
Cos now I know that you are near,
It feels like Christmas time is here....
