There will be presents underneath the tree
But none of them will be from you to me
I'll be spending time with friends and family
But I'll still feel so cold and lonely
I'll take my feet for a dance or three
I'll open up my throat and try to sing
I'll wash down ham and goose with punch and bubbly
But it won't quell my melancholy
I'll be in tears for the rest of the year
The season won't be bringing me any cheer
I get so sad when I think of Christmas Day
Cause I know you'll stay away
On Christmas Eve, I'll fall asleep and dream
Of the greatest gift that there could be
But there's one thing Santa Claus can't bring
That's you home to me
I'll be in tears for the rest of the year
The season won't be bringing me any cheer
I get so sad when I think of Christmas Day
Cause I know you'll stay
I know you'll stay
I know you'll stay away
