When the way you used to shine becomes some far off constellation
And the words you say get mixed up with some other conversations
When the picture of you in my mind starts fading out of view
Then, darling, I'll miss missing you

When December comes around, I'll take the steps down to the basement
Go and open up the dusty box of lights and decorations
And I'll try to hang them on the tree the way you used to do
Another Christmas missing you

Oh, when the bells ring out in the morning
And you're not there lying next to me
But, in my mind, outside, the snow is falling
And I can feel you just the way you used to be
I hear you whisper: Merry Christmas, dear
Now, wake up 'cause the kids are here

There are people singing carols somewhere just beyond the high street
If I close my eyes for long enough, I swear that you're beside me
I can hear you tryna sing along a little outta tune
A merry Christmas missing you

Oh, when the bells ring out in the morning
And you're not there lying next to me
But, in my mind, outside, the snow is falling
And I can feel you just the way you used to be
I hear you whisper: Merry Christmas, dear
Now, wake up 'cause the kids are here

Another Christmas missing you
