I could open one hundred presents Underneath the Christmas Tree But you know that's not the essence Of what Christmas means to me And my tears are falling harder Than the snowflakes from the sky Because Christmas isn't Christmas Since You Said Goodbye I've been asked to lots of parties To celebrate the season But what's the sense if you're not there I can't find a reason I'd rather spend Christmas night at home Pretending you are near 'Cause Christmas isn't Christmas Since you said goodbye I've seen the Christmas fires burning And the houses filled w/ laughter Why can't we hold each other And have our happily ever after? Why should a word or two of anger Break two hearts apart 'Cause we can build our dreams again This Christmas we can start I've tried to send you letters And to call you on the phone Nothing seems to make things better I'm left crying here alone I've seen so many lovers Seal a Christmas love forever But my Christmas isn't Christmas Since you said goodbye Christmas isn't Christmas Since you said goodbye
