Christmas Tears

[Verse 1]
I hear sleigh bells ring
And I haven't heard a word from you in years
I hear sleigh bells ringin'
But I haven't heard a word from you in years
I hear a choir singin'
And I'm just sittin' here cryin' Christmas tears

[Verse 2]
Everybody's singin' "Merry Christmas"
While they watch the starry skies
Everybody's singin' "Merry Christmas"
As they watch the skies filled with reindeer
I'm smilin' on the outside
But on the inside I'm cryin' Christmas tears

[Chorus]
Well, you been gone such a long, long time
And now it's Christmas and I can't get you off my mind
It seems like you been gone a hundred years or more
But if you were here with me now, I'd hang "Merry Christmas" on my door

[Chorus]
You been gone such a long, long time
And now it's Christmas, baby, and I can't get you off my mind
It seems like you been gone a hundred years or more
But if you were here with me now, I'd hang "Merry Christmas" on my door

[Verse 3]
I need you, darling
Kiss and hold me tight
I need you, darling
On a lonely night
And as I sit and think of the lonely years
I can't help but cry, oh, Christmas tears

[Refrain]
Oh, Christmas tears
