Lyrics
Where Will You Be on Christmas
Jack Walker
Where will you be on Christmas
Will you have lots of friends around you
Will you have fun trimming a tree
Just like the ones we trimmed together
Where will you be on Christmas
Will you be with some happy people
Laughing at jokes, making a show
So other folks won't know you're crying
Chorus
Where will you be on Christmas
Where will you be on Christmas morning
Unwrapping gifts around a new tree
Happy and gay just like you should be
One thing that I can't see
Why couldn't we agree
You should be here with me
Each time I hear a sleigh bell
I seem to get the warmest feeling
I still recall how we first met
I see it all and yet we're parted
Green mistletoe and carols
Always bring back the holiday spirit
They seem to say, times never change
People just play the game around them
