Please take down the mistletoe

'Cause I don't wanna think about that right now

'Cause everything I want is miles away

In a snow covered little town

My momma's in the kitchen, worrying about me

Season's greetings, hope you're well

Well I'm doing alright

If you were wondering

Lately I can never tell

I know this shouldn't be a lonely time

But there were Christmases when you were mine

I've been doing fine without you, really

Up until the nights got cold

And everybody's here, except you, baby

Seems like everyone's got someone to hold

But for me it's just a lonely time

'Cause there were Christmases when you were mine

Merry Christmas, everybody

That'll have to be something I just say this year

I'll bet you got your mom another sweater

And were your cousins late again?

When you were putting up the lights this year

Did you notice one less pair of hands?

I know this shouldn't be a lonely time

But there were Christmases when I didn't wonder how you are tonight

'Cause there were Christmases when you were mine

You were mine
