Snow falling down children all around And I'll be their Santa Claus clown It's a time for girls and boys Just look at me, happy as can be Taking pleasure just to see them... Playing with their toys I haven't heard a word from you And wondering what your doin' Wish that you could see them too And be here by my side And almost every day one of them will say Why'd he ever have to go away And the tears are so hard to hide It's such a lonely time of year Holidays and birthdays And summer days and winter days And any day when your not here Now Johnny's getting big and Mary's like a twig And little Joe's so grown up.... He helped mama trim the tree And looking at him now it's funny but somehow I get the strangest feeling Your standing right here by me Now he's so much like a man Reaching for my hand And trying so hard to understand Why my mood is changed I got to turn my face away I don't know what to say Try to get myself together And keep from calling out your name It's such a lonely time of year Holidays and birthdays And summer days and winter days And any day when your not here Yes, It's such a lonely time of year Holidays and birthdays And summer days and winter days And rainy days and sunny days Any day when your not here
