When the nights are getting longer
In a time that everybody dreams
When the lonely heart it hunger
To be together where the love light cleans
When the Christmas Carol's echo
Joyous voices, angels sweet and clear
When the Earth drops to its clouds
I can only wish that you were here
It's a lonely Christmas
'Cause you're not here with me
It's a lonely Christmas

My whole world could shadow
So lonely, without you by my side
When the snow is on the meadow
Till the stars sweep across the sky
When the moon casts its shadow
I can feel that loneliness inside
When the Christmas Carol's echo
Joyous voices, angels sweet and clear
When the Earth drops to its clouds
I can only wish that you were here
It's a lonely Christmas
'Cause you're not here with me
It's a lonely Christmas
If only I could be
In your gentle arms tonight
My whole world could shadow
So lonely, without you by my side.
