The lights are shining down,
But I feel dead.
The sickly sweet holidays keep me in bed.

But when I’m away,
I’m cryin’ every day.
Oh, I wish that you were here, 
When Christmas comes this time each year.

I’ll wrap you up and send you to myself.
I don’t want anythin’ from anyone else.
I’m sittin’ in my room,
Dreamin’ of you.

Oh, I can’t wait till you get here,
When Christmas comes this time each year.

So, Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah.

I’m feelin’ better since you returned my calls.
I string up some Christmas lights,
Let’s deck these halls.

Then, I have one more thing to say,
Don’t ever go away.
Oh, I’m so glad you’re here,
When Christmas comes this time each year.
