Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Please take down the misletoe
'Cause I don't wanna think about that right now
'Cause everythin' I want is miles away
In a snow-covered little town
My momma's in the kitchen, worryin' about me
Season's greetings, hope you're well
Well I'm doing alright, if you were wonderin'
Lately, I can never tell
[Verse 2]
I know this shouldn't be a lonely time
But there were Christmases when you were mine
[Verse 3]
I've been doing fine without you, really
Up until the nights got cold
And everybody's here, except you, baby
Seems like everyone's got someone to hold
[Verse 4]
But for me, it's just a lonely time
'Cause there were Christmases when you were mine
[Verse 5]
Merry Christmas, everybody
That'll have to be somethin' I just say this year
I'll bet you got your mom another sweater
And were your cousins late again
When you were puttin' up the lights this year
Did you notice one less pair of hands
[Verse 6]
I know this shouldn't be a lonely time
But there were Christmases when I didn't
Wonder how you are tonight
'Cause there were Christmases when you were mine
You were mine
