Christmas Tears

(альбом: It's Too Bad Things Are Going So Tough - 1969)

I hear sleigh bells ring
I haven't heard a word from you in years
I hear sleigh bells ringing

But I haven't heard a word from you in years
I hear choirs singing
And I'm just sitting here crying Christmas tears

Everybody's singing "Merry Christmas"
As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer
Everybody's singing "Merry Christmas"
As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer
I'm smiling on the outside
But on the inside I'm crying Christmas tears

You been gone such a long, long time
But it's Christmas and I can't get you off of my mind
Seems like you been gone a hundred years or more
But if you were here with me now
I'd hang "Merry Christmas" on my door

I need ya darling
Kiss and hold me tight
I need ya darling
On a lonely Christmas night
And as I sit and think of the lonely years
I can't help but cry, oh, Christmas tears
Oh, Christmas tears
