Lyrics
Once again, that time of year
Folks are full of Christmas Cheer
Except for me, cause you're not here
Presents underneath the tree
Lots of lights for all to see
People laughing, but not me
Turkey and mistletoe, will it snow, I don't know
Won't you try the pumpkin pie?
I just sigh, no you and I
Ring the bells on Christmas Day
Watch the children as they play
But you were not in Santa's sleigh
