Please take down the mistletoe
Cause I don't want to think about that right now
Cause everything I want is miles away
In a snow-covered little town
Mama's in the kitchen, worrying about me
Season's greeetings,
hope you're well
Well I'm doing alright, if you were wondering
Lately I can never tell
I know this shouldn't be a lonely time
But there were Christmases when you were mine

I've been doing fine without you, really
Up until the night's got cold
And everybody's here except you
Baby, seems like everyone's got someone to hold
But for me it's just a lonely time
Cause there were Christmases when you were mine

Merry Christmas, everybody
It'll have to be something I just say this year

I bet you got your mom another sweater
And were your cousins late again
When you were putting up the lights this year
Did you notice one less pair of hands

I know this shouldn't be a lonely time
But there were Christmases when I didn't wonder
How you are tonight
Cause there were Christmases when you were mine
You were mine
