This time of year, it hurts the most
Daddy's not at home, I wish I could be back
She takes comfort, from a letter he wrote
She keeps them close, and she cries alone
[Chorus:]
On Christmas eve, as you go to sleep
I'll be missing you
Sending you, my love, my letter reads
A Christmas time, it hurts the most
One day you'll understand
(One day you'll understand)
I'm gone but not forgotten
[Chorus:]
On Christmas eve, as you go to sleep
I'll be missing you (I'll be missing you)
Sending you my love, my letter reads
My love will go on, my words come from afar
I'll be missing you, I'll be holding you
This time of year, it hurts the most
and Daddy's not at home
He'll be missing you, he'll be missing you
And on Christmas day, when you awake
I'll be missing you
Sending all my love, my letter reads
