Well tonight’s not going right for me
I’m sitting out in the snow
It’s 28 degrees
I feel so alone
I didn’t mean to miss your plane
That’s what you keep saying
Please don’t explain
I don’t need to know

It’s Christmas eve, shouldn’t we be singing
Some fa-la-la-la-la-la-lullaby
Instead I’m sitting here in this town
Trying to so hard no to cry
So hard not to cry

And now we’re a world apart
When I left Kansas
It tore me apart
You have my heart

It’s Christmas eve, shouldn’t we be singing
Some fa-la-la-la-la-la-lullaby
Instead I’m sitting here in this town
Trying to so hard no to cry
So hard not to cry


I’ll miss you this Christmas day
But next year will be different
Won’t be so far away
Here’s to next year

And it’s Christmas eve, shouldn’t we be singing
Some fa-la-la-la-la-la-lullabye
Instead I’m sitting here in this town
Trying not to cry
This isn’t supposed to be what Christmas is like
But maybe we will get it right
Next time
