For like a hundred days and nights everywhere I look I see tiny lights
And the music plays 'Jingle all the way' day after day.
Seems like it’s always the same old scene if it isn’t red, then it must be green
Maybe silver and gold and it’s getting old. I know it sounds so cold.

I read your letter—said you’d love to spend the holiday together
Maybe try to find a little bit of peace and bring some love into the world
It would be beautiful but how’s it gonna happen when you’re so far away?

I got myself a little tree with a star on top and it’s just like Christmas
I watch the window panes frost up and the snow doesn’t stop and it’s just like Christmas
And everybody is happy enough singing “peace hope love”
But it's just not Christmas without you.

I try to let the spirit grow and it comes sometimes but it mostly goes out the window
And then back to humbug again. I just can’t win.
I miss your kiss and without your touch I’ve been acting like the Grinch
I ain’t very merry much fFor this time of the year.
Guess the answer is clear. I wish you could be here.

I read your letter—said you’d love to spend the holiday together
Maybe try to find a little bit of peace and bring some love into the world
It would be beautiful, but how’s it gonna happen when you’re so far away?

I got myself a little tree with a star on top and it’s just like Christmas
I watch the window panes frost up and the snow doesn’t stop and it’s just like Christmas
And everybody is happy enough singing “peace hope love”
But it's just not Christmas without you -- No, it’s just not the same.

Am I gonna drive myself cold crazy thinking about you?
I made up my mind. I’m coming to find you baby.

I stood there knocking at your door just waiting for you
Yeah… You shoulda’ seen me crumble when the lady came and told me
You had left that morning-- got yourself a ticket to surprise me
Now I’m out here and you’re so far away

You got yourself a little tree with a star on top and it’s just like Christmas
I watched the window panes fog up while I stood there and knocked and it’s just like Christmas
And all your neighbors are happy enough singing “peace hope love”
But it's just not Christmas without you.

No it's just not Christmas without you.
