lyrics

Once upon a time I dreamed
Of Christmas every night
Two lovers under mistletoe
Our love a candle light

But the snow is not as bright this year
The tree is brown, the lights are clear
And I wish that you were here

Shopping isn’t doing it for me this year
I bought a pair of glasses just to hide my tears
Christmastime without you only makes me sad
I guess Santa Claus can keep his bag

I tried to buy a bicycle
But all I got was wine
Then Sherry at the register
Called me, “Honey Pie”

Now I’m checking off your naughty list
And, Sherry’s name, it won’t be missed
Like the lips I wanna kiss

Nobody calls me “Honey” now that you’re not here
Certainly not Sherry while I hide my tears
Cause Christmastime without you only makes me sad
I guess Santa Claus can keep his bag

I saw two lovers walking
Through the park the other day
Wandered they so merrily
Then you passed by on your sleigh

I saw you had my necklace on
That fella, Tom, hung on your arm
You were singing him our song

Loving isn’t doing it for me this year
You’ve worn out all my dresses and you’re never here
Christmastime without you only makes me sad
So, please, Santa Claus—keep your bag
