The windows are lighted with bright colored candles
The feeling of Christmas is near
With all of its gladness, it's bringing sadness
I'm not with my darling this year
It won't seem like Christmas, without her I know
A long, lonely day, it will be
Without her caresses and sweet tender kisses
It won't seem like Christmas to me
While other folks open their gaily wrapped presents
Around the yule tree Christmas morn
I'll unwrap her picture and read her old letters
And wish I had never been born
It won't seem like Christmas without her I know
So there'll be no gay Christmas tree
While church bells are ringing and children are singing
It won't seem like Christmas to me
