Daddy Won't Be Home Again For Christmas

Daddy won't be home again for Christmas
 But I just hope that this little check will fit
 Daddy won't be home again for Christmas
 But maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget
 The Christmas tree where I'll be won't be lighted
 But the rain and cold will let us know December's here
 Forgive me for the letters I don't answer
 But I keep thinking I'll be home again each year
 But Daddy won't be home again for Christmas
 But here's hoping that this little check will fit
 Daddy won't be home again for Christmas
 But maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget

 (Don't forget)
 I know Santa Claus won't bring you all the things you need
 But maybe he will be kinder if he knows
 That I won't be home again this year to play his role
 And besides I'm much to thin to wear his clothes
 Daddy won't be home again for Christmas
 But here's hoping that this little check will fit
 No, Daddy won't be home again for Christmas
 But maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget
