The fire is burning, the room’s all aglow
Outside the December wind blows
Away in the distance
The carolers sing in the snow

Everybody’s laughing
The world is celebrating
And everyone’s so happy
Except for me tonight

Because I miss you most at Christmas time
And I can’t get you, get you off my mind
Every other season comes along and I’m all right
But then I miss you, most at Christmas time

I gaze out the window this cold winter’s night
At all of the twinkling lights
Alone in the darkness
Remembering when you were mine

Everybody’s smiling
The whole world is rejoicing
And everyone’s embracing
Except for you and I

Baby I miss you most at Christmas time
And I can’t get you, no, no, no, no, get you off my mind
Every other season comes along and I’m all right
But then I miss you, most at Christmas time

In the springtime those memories start to fade with the April rain
Through the summer days till autumn’s leaves are gone
I get by without you till the snow begins to fall

And then I miss you most at Christmas time
And I can’t get you, no, no, no, get you off my mind
Every other season comes along and I’m all right
But then I miss you, most at Christmas time
