I won't be home for Christmas
Darling not this year
The trains have all stopped in their tracks
The snow's up to our ears
I check into my hotel room
And feel the tears begin
Sitting on a scratchy bed
I hum some Christmas hymns
Who's gonna help you open presents and enjoy the blessed mess
We may be apart, but baby you got my heart
I know you know it
We're gonna get through it
This star crossed christmas we got
And i can see you in your bed
The quilt up to your chin
Waiting for the morning light
That welcomes Christmas in
Santa dances on TV
And close my eyes and breathe
Just a night or two until
You're sleeping next to me
I'm not dreaming of a white Christmas, but I'd like Christmas with you
Silver bells have lost their bright shimmer, and the light's dimmer,
Green and red have bled into blue
But what can we do
Who's gonna help you open presents and enjoy the blessed mess
We may be apart, but baby you got my heart
I know you know it
We're gonna get through it
This star crossed Christmas we got
