[1st Verse]
I hear sleigh bells ring
But I havenât heard a word from you in years
I hear sleigh bells ringinâ
But I havenât heard a word from you in years
I hear choirs singinâ
And Iâm just sittinâ here cryinâ Christmas tears
[2nd Verse]
Everybodyâs singinâ âMerry Christmasâ
As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer
Everybodyâs singinâ âMerry Christmasâ
As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer
Iâm smilinâ on the outside
But on the inside Iâm cryinâ Christmas tears
[Bridge]
Well, youâve been gone such a long, long time
But itâs Christmas and I canât get you off of my mind
Yes, youâve been gone a hundred years or more
If you come back
They could hang a âMerry Christmasâ on my door
I need you baby
Kiss and hold me tight
I need you darling
On a lonely Christmas night
And as I sit and I think of the long, lonely years
I canât help but cry
Christmas tears
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
