DRIVING ROUND ON CHRISTMAS EVE
GOT THE GIFTS I BOUGHT YOU ON THE BACK SEAT
AND A MISTLETOE AT HOME WAITING ON YOUR KISS
I SEE COUPLES WALKING WITH STARRY EYES
& THE SNOWFLAKES FALLING FROM THE STORMY SKY
I CAN ALMOST HEAR SANTA CHECKING OFF HIS LIST
BUT I KNOW THERE'S ONE THING THAT HE MISSED THIS YEAR
GUESS HE COULDN'T GIVE ME A MIRACLE & KEEP YOU HERE
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME
I'm TRYING HARD TO BELIEVE
THIS TIME YEAR'S GONNA BRING ME CHEER NOT MISERY
SO TAKE THE TREE AND THE LIGHTS
LEAVE ME WITH SILENT NIGHTS
I'VE ALREADY LOST THE ONE THING THAT I REALLY NEED
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME
YOU HUNG MY HEART STRINGS OUT TO DRY
LIKE AN EMPTY STOCKING BY THE FIRESIDE
NOW THESE COLORED LIGHTS I SEE ARE SHADES OF BLUE
WELL I DON'T NEED TO RUSH HOME ANYMORE
CUZ YOU WON'T BE WAITING WHEN I WALK THROUGH THAT DOOR
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME
I'm TRYING HARD TO BELIEVE
THIS TIME YEAR'S GONNA BRING ME CHEER NOT MISERY
SO TAKE THE TREE AND THE LIGHTS
LEAVE ME WITH SILENT NIGHTS
I'VE ALREADY LOST THE ONE THING THAT I REALLY NEED
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME
THIS SEASON IS TOO HAPPY, THESE CAROLS ARE GETTING OLD
I KNOW I'D GET INTO THE SPIRIT IF I HAD YOU TO HOLD
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME
I TRYING HARD TO BELIEVE
THIS TIME YEAR'S GONNA BRING ME CHEER NOT MISERY
SO TAKE THE TREE AND THE LIGHTS
LEAVE ME WITH SILENT NIGHTS
I'VE ALREADY LOST THE ONE THING THAT I REALLY NEED
ALL THAT'S LEFT OF ME AND YOU IS JUST A MEMORY
Merry Christmas to me, Merry Christmas to me
Merry Christmas to me
