It Ain’t Christmas

Here on this night so silent
I pray to Heaven to bring you home
Snowflakes have turned to rain
Breath turns to frost on my window pane

Can you hear the children carol?
Singing songs of joy, but not for me
Pierce through my heart like an arrow
Holiday pictures of you and me...

Come trim the tree (oh, ohhh..)
We can light this night together
(hey...)
Just you and me
The way it used to be...

It ain't Christmas, if I sit at home without you
(without you...)
It's so hard to hear the herald angels sing
(oh, ohhh...)
It ain't Christmas, if I sit at home without you
(I pray...)
I pray that you'll be the gift the angels bring
(mmm...)

Guilt follows me like a shadow
If given the future, the past I'd change
Your gentle touch, it stays with me
The love you gave was so unique

The way you care
The love we share
Even now, I can see you standing there

I see the ghost of Christmas all around

(oh...)
Your smiling face and laughter's happy sound
(oh girl...)

Come trim the tree
We can light this night together
Just you and me
The way it used to be
(ohh...)

[HOOK]
No mistletoe, no midnight love, so crazy
Living here without you in my life
No eggnog toasts, no cuddles close by the fire
Without you I'll always fail at joy

No sharing gifts, no snowbound trysts, so crazy
Living here without you in my life
No window shop, no end, no top by the fire
Without you I'll always fail at joy

Just you and me
The way it used to be...

[HOOK]
If I'm sittin' home
Yeah, yeah
(oh, ohooo...)

...fade to end...
