It's almost Christmas and I ain't got a single gift to give
It's almost Christmas and I don't feel the spirit like I did
It's almost Christmas and I got that lonesome feeling once again
The snow is fallin' down again
Lost souls are linin' up and down the street
Outside the kitchen window
Waitin' on something warm to eat
It's almost Christmas and lost souls are linin' up and down the street
Fathers work all day and their children just dream the night away
Sugar plums and fairy tales, but they got bills to pay
Poor man's dollar, get 'em by another day
It's almost Christmas and the lights are hangin' down on the tree
All them pretty colors, red and gold and green
It's almost Christmas but not the way it used to be
It's almost Christmas and the lights are hangin' down on the tree
All them pretty colors, red and gold and green
It's almost Christmas but not the way it used to be
