Daddy won't be home again for Christmas And I just hope that this little check will fit Daddy won't be home again for Christmas But maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget. The Christmas tree where I'll be won't be lighted But the rain cold will let me know December's here Forgive me for the letters I don't answer But I keep thinking I'll be home again each year. Daddy won't be home again for Christmas But here's hoping that this little check will fit Daddy won't be home again for Christmas But maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget. I know Santa Claus won't bring you all the things you need But maybe he'll be kinder if he knows That I won't be home this year to play the famous roll And besides I'm much to thin to wear his cloths. Daddy won't be home again for Christmas But here's hoping that this little check will fit Daddy won't be home again for Christmas But maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget...
