It Ain't Christmas (If You're Not With Me)

I left my heart on a cobbled street

Where you left in 2018

Buried in snow, cold on the ground

I wonder who’s wearing it now

It’s quiet tonight, the children sleep tight

But I’m not quite sleeping the same

Cursing your name, I wish that you’d stayed

I stopped believing that Santa was real

And I stopped playing ‘Wham!’ all the time

So, this Christmas Eve won’t hang stockings or wreaths

But you bet I’ll be drinking mulled wine

I don’t need no presents this year, no mistletoe

No candy on branches of tree

‘Cause it ain’t Christmas if you’re not with me

I talk to the stars, find peace in the moon

‘Cause without you what else would I do?

Being alone, it’s not what I’d choose

But that’s the price I pay for loving you

It’s quiet tonight, the children sleep tight

But I’m not quite sleeping the same

Cursing your name, I wish that you’d stayed

I stopped believing that Santa was real

And I stopped playing ‘Wham!’ all the time

So, this Christmas Eve won’t hang stockings or wreaths

But you bet I’ll be drinking mulled wine

I don’t need no presents this year, no mistletoe

No candy on branches of tree

‘Cause it ain’t Christmas if you’re not

With me, ooh… (x2)

When the doctors they called to tell you the news

Well, right in that moment I knew

December ain’t white, it’s black and it’s blue

‘Cause Christmas ain’t Christmas without you
