Why Can't You Be Here For Christmas?

by the chimney are two stockings one for you and one for me but im waiting, anticipating decorating the tree pretty ribbons shiny paper should i wrap these gifts alone 'cause you told me very bodly that you wont be home CHORUS why cant you be here for Christmas why cant you ber here with me with tears in my eyes I ask has our love died why cant you be here for Christmas on the sidewalk boys and girls walk arm in arm but your not here is my lover with another for christmas this year im so lonely for your holding underneath the mistletoe how my heart aches o dear God make my baby come home (CHORUS) why cant you be here for Christmas (2x)
