Vince Vance & The Valiants - Why Can't You Be Here For Christmas lyrics

By the chimney are two stockings One for you and one for me But I'm waiting, anticipating Decorating the tree Pretty ribbons, shiny paper Should I wrap these gifts alone? 'Cause you told me very boldly That you won't be home Why can't you be here for Christmas? Why can't you be here with me? With tears in my eyes I ask, has our love died? Why can't you be here for Christmas? On the sidewalk boys and girls walk Arm in arm but you're not here Is my lover with another For Christmas this year? I'm so lonely for your holding Underneath the mistletoe How my heart aches Oh, dear God make my baby come home Why can't you be here for Christmas? Why can't you be here with me? With tears in my eyes I ask, has our love died? Why can't you be here for Christmas? Why can't you be here for Christmas? Why can't you be here for Christmas?
