It's that time of year, where I put out all the lights
Decorate the Christmas tree so the glow is oh so bright
I hang out all the stockings and put up the missile toe
Then I drown myself in eggnog and I watch my favorite show
It's just another lonely Christmas
I heard the family is missing me
It's just another lonely Christmas
But that's the way I want it to be
You can't spend your life wishing upon
A falling star that will never come
It's just another lonely Christmas
And I wish you were here
People rushing to the stores to buy last minute gifts
I hear songs of celebration sung by the church choir kids
As I look at the Christmas cards I wonder why do they all care
Because it's just another Christmas that I couldn't be there
It's just another lonely Christmas
I heard the family is missing me
It's just another lonely Christmas
But that's the way I want it to be
You can't spend your life wishing upon
A falling star that will never come
It's just another lonely Christmas
And I wish you were here
I enjoy those peaceful moments that only come around once a year
I enjoy the lights of the Christmas tree but I wish you were here
You're too many miles away from me and somehow that don't seem right
I only want one Christmas gift and that's to see my dad tonight
It's just another lonely Christmas
I heard the family is missing me
It's just another lonely Christmas
But that's the way I want it to be
You can't spend your life wishing upon
A falling star that will never come
It's just another lonely Christmas
And I wish you were here
