Amanda McCarthy - Christmas Without You Lyrics

Christmas trees and falling snow
Village lights are all aglow
I see the children dance with joy
But my spirit has fallen coy

Candy canes and Santa Claus
Selflessness without a cause
The smile on my lover's face
But none of it could take your place

'Cause it's just not Christmas without you
Red and green have faded to a lonely shade of blue
I can't write my Christmas list
'Cause even Santa can't grant my wish
It's just not Christmas without you

There's cookies and candles and caroling
But none of it could mean a thing
Stockings hanging aren't the same
Without the one that has your name

I hear of Christmas miracles
But I'm afraid I won't be fooled
How the hell can I be merry
If I have to bring your gift to a cemetery

'Cause it's just not Christmas without you
Red and green have faded to a lonely shade of blue
I can't write my Christmas list
'Cause even Santa can't grant my wish
It's just not Christmas without you

The presents pile up to my waist
But they'll never be enough
Hark the herald angels sing
But I wish they'd all shut up

I want to smile and I want to laugh
But all my efforts just fall flat
All I want this year is to have you back

'Cause it's just not Christmas without you
Red and green have faded to a lonely shade of blue
I can't write my Christmas list
'Cause even Santa can't grant my wish
It's just not Christmas without you
It's just not Christmas without you
It's just not Christmas without you
