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
You been gone such a long, long time But it’s Christmas and I can’t get you off of my mind Seems like you been gone a hundred years or more But if you were here with me now I’d hang “Merry Christmas” on my door I need ya darling Kiss and hold me tight I need ya darling On a lonely Christmas night And as I sit and think of the lonely years I can’t help but cry, oh, Christmas tears Oh, Christmas tears
