Lyrics
Christmas isn't Christmas any more
On Christmas Eve you walked right out the door
There's no one here except the cat
Sitting on the spot where you once sat
Christmas isn't Christmas any more
Christmas isn't Christmas any more
I'm so cold and miserable to the core
I've opened up my only present
A year old tin of ring necked pheasant
Christmas isn't Christmas any more
Chorus
Can't think why you had to leave
We always got along
All I've done since you left
Is write the words to this song
Verse
Christmas isn't Christmas any more
Since I'm without the one that I adore
I'm down to my very last bottle of bourbon
I'm talking to myself that's quite disturbin'
Christmas isn't Christmas anymore
Piano instrumental
Chorus
Can't think why you had to leave
We always got along
All I've done since you left
Is write down the words to this song
Verse
Christmas isn't Christmas any more
My melancholy's back for an encore
How much more lonesome can I be ?
Even the cat's stopped talking to me
Christmas just ain't Christmas any more
Christmas isn't Christmas any more
Hey, wait a second
Did I just hear the opening of the door ?
Its you and suddenly I remembered
You'd been visiting your folks in Denver
Christmas is Christmas once again now that you're
Back home I feel so safe and secure
I'm going to write things down in the future
Baby, that's for sure
Now that Christmas is Christmas once more
