Christmas Tears

I hear sleigh bells ring I haven't heard a word from you in years I hear sleigh bells ringin' But I haven't heard a word from you in years I hear choirs singin' And I'm just sittin' here cryin' Christmas tears Everybody's singin' "Merry Christmas" As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer Everybody's singin' "Merry Christmas" As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer I'm smilin' on the outside But on the inside, I'm cryin' Christmas tears Well, you've been gone (you've been gone) For a long, long time (you've been gone) But it's Christmas and I can't get you off of my mind Yes, you've been gone (you've been gone) For a hundred years or more (you've been gone) If you came back and hang "Merry Christmas" on my door I need you, baby To hold me tight I need you, darling On this Christmas night And as I sit and think of those long lonely years I can't help but cry, oh, Christmas tears
