Please take down the misletoe,
Cause I don't wanna think about that right now.
Cause everything I want is miles away,
In a snow covered little town.
My momma's in the kitchen, worrying about me
Season's greetings, hope you're well
Well I'm doing alright
If you were wondering
Lately I can never tell

I know this shouldn't be a lonely time,
But there were Christmases when you were mine

I've been doing fine without you, really.
Up until the nights got cold.
And everybody's here, except you, baby
Seems like everyone's got someone to hold.

But for me it's just a lonely time,
Cause there were Christmases when you were mine.

"Merry Christmas everybody",
That'll have to be something I just say this year.
I'll bet you got your mom another sweater,
And were your cousins late again.
When you were putting up the lights this year,
Did you notice one less pair of hands?

I know this shouldn't be a lonely time,
But there were Christmases
When I didn't wonder how you are tonight
Cause there were Christmases when you were mine.

You were mine...
