by the chimney
|
are two stockings
|
one for you and one for me
|
but im waiting, anticipating
|
decorating the tree
|
pretty ribbons shiny paper
|
should i wrap these gifts alone
|
'cause you told me very bodly
|
that you wont be home
|
|
CHORUS
|
why cant you be here for Christmas
|
why cant you ber here with me
|
with tears in my eyes
|
I ask has our love died
|
why cant you be here for Christmas
|
|
on the sidewalk
|
boys and girls walk
|
arm in arm but your not here
|
is my lover with another
|
for christmas this year
|
im so lonely
|
for your holding
|
underneath the mistletoe
|
how my heart aches
|
o dear God make my baby come home
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
why cant you be here for Christmas (2x)
