Christmas can't start without me
I know I'm running late
If I can catch this train then
I will be on my way
Getting anxious on this winter holiday
Christmas can't start without me
It just won't be the same
The kids around the tree will
Wonder why I'm away
Can't start the carols
Don't open up the cabernet
Is there anything that I can do
Just so I can be much closer to you
Before midnight
Christmas can't start without me
The train is on its way
The snow's been coming down and
It's been this way all day
Aggravated on this station passageway
Christmas can't start without me
I won't take all the blame
Jack Frost can't catch a wind and
Santa's even delayed
Eggnog and cider can wait a moment I'm afraid
Is there anything that I can do
Just so I can be much closer to you
Before midnight
Is there anything that I can do
Just so I can be much closer to you
Before midnight
Christmas can't start without me
Hold off the yuletide cheer
If I'm not back by midnight
We'll wait another year
I won't stop until I'm next to you my dear
I won't stop until I'm next to you my dear
I won't stop until I'm next to you my dear
