Christmas Tears

I hear sleigh bells ring

But 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 a starry skyline filled with reindeer

Everybody's singin' Merry Christmas

As they watch a starry skyline filled with reindeer

I'm smilin' on the outside

But on the inside, cryin' Christmas tears

Well, you been gone

(You've been gone)

For a long, long time

(You've been gone)

But it's Christmas

And I can't keep you off'a my mind

Yes, you been gone

(You've been gone)

For a hundred years or more

(You've been gone)

If you came back

They could hang

Merry Christmas on my door

I need you, baby

To hold me tight

I need you, darlin'

On this Christmas night

And as I sit

And I think

Of those long, lonely years

I can't help but cry

(Cry)

(Christmas tears)
