Alone on Christmas

There's no presents under the christmas tree

No decorations hanging outside

There's no you...only me

And the tears will never subside

 

The sun disappears earlier with each passing day

And so do all of my memories of you

The snow is white but the skies are so gray

And our mistakes we can never undo

 

There's no cookies or milk on the table for the taking

Santa won't be making a cameo tonight

My heart is all yours for the taking or for the breaking

All I want for Christmas is for you and I to reunite

 

And you're somewhere far, far away

And this house is not a home

And it hurts even more during the holiday

To be all alone

 

There's no ornaments on the christmas tree

No children caroling outside

There's no reality in sight I wish to see

And all of my dreams have already died

 

There's snow all over on the ground

But it's always raining inside my head

I thought I heard your voice, but there's no one around

Still clearly replaying in my mind the final things you said

 

And there's no dinner on the table for the sharing

The family won't be making a cameo this year

My heart is all yours for the repairing or for the impairing

Just wishing you were in my arms to erase all this fear

 

And you're a million, million miles away

And I wish you would just please come home

And it seems even worse on this joyful day

To be all alone

 

And on Christmas...no one should be alone

So baby, please, please come home
