" Christmas Eve Without You "
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christ-mas Time Is Here Now
An-oth-er Year Goes On By
Sit-ting By The Fi-re-place
As It Snows Out-side
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christ-mas Bells Are Ring-ing
An-oth-er Gift For The Tree
Christ-mas Lights Are Shin-ing
But I Do Not See
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It Seems So Long A-go
When Eve-ry-one Was Friends
You'd Stop By With A Gleam In Your Eye
And Christ-mas Was Fun Then
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christ-mas Eve With Out You
An-oth-er Year Goes On By
All The Warmth Has Dis-ap-peared
And Its Cold Out-side
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I Hope That You Re-lent
And Stop On By A-gain
Christ-mas Cheer Comes A-round Once A Year
I Wish That You Were Here So
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christ-mas Bells Keep Ring-ing
And Christ-mas Lights Shine And Glow
Car-o-lers They Come And Sing
To That Smile You Bring
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christ-mas Eve With Out You
Can Nev-er Be The Same
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Dear Santa"....." Guess What I Want For Christmas Eve"..... ( spoken )

Psynopsis : A sad holiday song for Christmas Eve. Can relate to many people for many different reasons. Best
suited for a Male vocalist, but either gender works. Could become a holiday classic in the right
hands in my opinion, as many people have told me they like the song.
