Christmas Tears

I hear sleigh bells ring
 I haven't heard a word from you in years
 I hear sleigh bells ringin'
 But I haven't heard a word from you in years
 I hear choirs singin'
 And I'm just sittin' here cryin' Christmas tears
 Everybody's singin' "Merry Christmas"
 As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer
 Everybody's singin' "Merry Christmas"
 As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer
 I'm smilin' on the outside
 But on the inside, I'm cryin' Christmas tears
 Well, you've been gone (you've been gone)
 For a long, long time (you've been gone)
 But it's Christmas and I can't get you off of my mind
 Yes, you've been gone (you've been gone)
 For a hundred years or more (you've been gone)
 If you came back and hang
 "Merry Christmas" on my door
 I need you, baby
 To hold me tight
 I need you, darling
 On this Christmas night
 And as I sit and think of those long lonely years
 I can't help but cry, oh, Christmas tears
