 Merry Christmas, everybody
 ♪
 Christmas memories still remind me of you
 I wanna be (wanna be, wanna be) closer to you
 And I wish you were closer to me
 Every song they play this time of year
 Every melody that I hear, every minute I wish
 I wish you were near
 Something's missin' (something's missin')
 Must be you (must be you)
 So I listen when the bells start ringin'
 My heart starts singin'
 I listen to the bells
 And they make me remember
 When we were so in love
 It was only last year, this time in December
 I listen to the bells and I reminisce
 I hear those Christmas bells
 But I never knew that I could miss you like this
 Love the lights and everything under the tree
 Friends come around (celebrate, celebrate)
 They have a good time
 But it's not a party for me
 (Call up Santa)
 Tell him that I've been blue (blue)
 Tell him it's hard (for me, for me)
 It's been a blue holiday, 'cause I'm missin' you
 I keep wishin' (I keep wishin')
 Wondering if you'll (think of me)
 So I listen when the bells start ringin'
 My heart starts singin'
 I listen to the bells
 And they make me remember
 When we were so in love
 It was only last year, this time in December
 I listen to the bells and I reminisce
 I hear those Christmas bells
 But I never knew that I could miss you like this
 Ready, baby?
 Uh-huh
 Well, come on
 ♪
 Go on, Mr. Clemons
 ♪
 Clarence, please, ha ha
 ♪
 Something's missin' (something's missin')
 Must be you (must be you)
 So I listen when the bells start ringin'
 My heart starts singin'
 I listen to the bells
 And they make me remember
 When we were so in love
 It was only last year, this time in December
 I listen to the bells and I reminisce (about me?)
 I hear those Christmas bells
 But I never knew that I could miss you like this
 Honey (I listen to the bells)
 Sugar (and they make me remember)
 Don't you miss me? Don't you miss me?
 Come back, baby (when we were so in love)
 (It was only last year, this time in December)
 Honey (I listen to the bells)
 Sugar (and I reminisce)
 Don't you miss me? Don't you miss me?
 Come back, baby (I hear those Christmas bells)
 (But I never knew that I could miss you like this)
 (I listen to the bells and they make me remember)
 Merry Christmas, Darlene, you too, Luther
 (When we were so in love)
 (It was only last year, this time in December)
 Come on back, girl, I'm here
 (I listen to the bells and I reminisce)
 It's Christmas time, I know you remember, I sure do
 (I hear those Christmas bells)
 (But I never knew that I could miss you like this)
 Nothing but wonderful memories, still got the feeling, yeah
 (I listen to the bells and they make me remember)
 You remember, I sure do
 (When we were so in love)
 (It was only last year, this time in December)
 (I listen to the bells...)
