[Verse 1]
Please take down the mistletoe
‘Cause I don’t want to 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 nights 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
[Verse 3]
I’ll bet you got your mom another sweater
And were your cousins 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

[Outro]
You were mine
