[Verse 1:]
There'll be carolling
But there's no melody
That could bring me cheer
If you're not here
And they'll carry on
Oh so merrily
On this winter's eve
But not you and me
[Chorus 2x:]
So it's true I won't see you for Christmas this year
[Verse 2:]
And they'll carry on
Oh so merrily
On this Christmas eve
But not you and me
And all the memories
Of what we used to be
We never fit perfectly
But how I miss you tonight
[Chorus 2x:]
So it's true I won't see you for Christmas this year
[Bridge:]
Star on top a Christmas tree
But this year it won't shine for me
My baby in between the wreath
But this year it doesn't mean anything
Dad's up on the chimney
Friends are drinking merrily
But you can pour one out for me
Cause this year it doesn't mean anything
[Chorus 2x:]
So it's true I won't see you for Christmas this year
