I won't have to hear the laughter
When it's finally the day after
And the candles will no longer burn as bright
I come back to life on the 26th
Have a drink just for the heck of it
And unplug my one and only string of lights
It has always been the holidays
Makes the loneliness feel lonelier
Any other time it seems to fit just right
It's the time of year my only wish
To be with those I love and miss
Even if it's only for one night
And on Christmas Morning all the bells will ring
And I'll be dreaming of you
On Christmas Morning all the World will sing
But I'll be sleeping through
I turn away from every Christmas song
They remind me that I don't belong
And I won't be fighting traffic or the crowd
While the shoppers spend their jingle
In the name of old Kris Kringle
Well to me that isn't what the day's about
And on Christmas Morning all the bells will ring
And I'll be dreaming of you
On Christmas morning all the World will sing
But I'll be sleeping through
