The lights are twinkling on the tree,
But they don't shine the same for me.
The carols play, the streets are bright,
But in my heart, it's a silent night.
I see the smiles on faces near,
But no one knows you're not here.
This Christmas, I'm on my own,
Wishing you'd come back home.
The snow is falling, the world's aglow,
But I'm lost in a memory I can't let go.
I set the table for just one,
No laughter now, the joy is gone.
The mistletoe just hangs in vain,
A reminder of love I'll never reclaim.
The stars above, they light the sky,
But can't erase this ache inside.
This Christmas, I'm on my own,
Wishing you'd come back home.
The snow is falling, the world's aglow,
But I'm lost in a memory I can't let go.
I close my eyes, and I see your face,
The warmth of your love, your sweet embrace.
But when I wake, the truth remains,
This Christmas, it's only pain.
This Christmas, I'm on my own,
Wishing you'd come back home.
The snow is falling, the world's aglow,
But I'm lost in a memory I can't let go.
The candles flicker, the fire fades,
But this lonely heart, it still stays.
Maybe next year, I won't feel this way,
But this Christmas, the sadness stays.
