Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Please, take down the mistletoe
'Cause I don't wanna think about that right now
'Cause everything I want is miles away
In a snow covered little town
My momma's in the kitchen
Worrying about me
Season's greetings, hope you're well
Well, I'm doing alright
If you were wondering
Lately, I can never tell
[Chorus]
I know this shouldn't be a lonely time
But there were Christmases
When you were mine
[Verse 2]
I've been doing fine without you, really
Up until the night's got cold
And everybody's here
Except you, baby
Seems like everyone's got someone to hold
[Chorus]
But, for me, it's just a lonely time
'Cause there were Christmases
When you were mine
[Bridge]
Merry Christmas, everybody
That'll have to be something I just say this year
I'll bet you got your mom another sweater
And were your cousin's late again
When you were putting up the lights this year?
Did you notice one less pair of hands?
[Chorus]
I know this shouldn't be a lonely time
But there were Christmases
When I didn't wonder, "How you are tonight?"
'Cause there were Christmases
When you were mine
You were mine
