Tree tops glisten and if you listen
You'll hear the sounds of Christmas
I'm going through the motions
While you're across the ocean
It don't feel much like Christmas

Without you near me it's a bleak midwinter
The air is icy as the grey sky closes in
This lonely girl is wishing you were with her
Praying that you're safe
It's hard to celebrate when you're far away

Snow is falling and my heart's calling
For you to come home for Christmas
Mistletoe for kissing but I am missing
The lips I love this Christmas

There's a chill in the air
But I'm warmed by the memories we share
Night by night your love carries me

Without you near me it's a bleak midwinter
The air is icy as the grey sky closes in
This lonely girl is wishing you were with her
Praying that you're safe
It's hard to celebrate when you're far away
