"It Ain't Christmas" lyrics

Here on this night so silent
I pray to Heaven to bring you home
Snowflakes have turned to rain
Breath turns to frost on my window pane

Can you hear the children carol?
Singing songs of joy but not for me
Pierced through my heart like an arrow
Holiday pictures of you and me

Come to the tree
(Oh, oh)
We can light this night together
(Hey)
Just you and me
The way it used to be

It ain't Christmas
If I sit at home without you, without you
It's so hard to hear the herald angels sing
(Oh, oh)
It ain't Christmas
If I sit at home without you, I pray
I pray that you'll be the gift the angels bring
(Mm)

Guilt follows me like a shadow
If given the future, the past I'd change
Your gentle touch, it stays with me
The love you gave was so unique

The way you care, the love we share
Even now I can see you standing there
I see the ghost of Christmas all around
(Oh)
Your smiling face and laughter's happy sound

Oh girl, come to the tree
We can light this night together
Just you and me
The way it used to be

It ain't Christmas
If I sit at home without you, baby
It's so hard to hear the herald angels sing
It ain't Christmas
If I sit at home without you, oh, baby
I pray that you'd be the gift the angels bring

No mistletoe, no midnight love, so crazy
Living here without you in my life
No eggnog toast, no cuddles close by the fire
Without you I always fail at joy

No sharing gifts, no snow-bound trysts, so crazy
Living here without you in my life
No window-shop, no end, no top by the fire
Without you I always fail at joy

Just you and me
The way it used to be

It ain't Christmas
If I sit at home without you
It's so hard to hear the herald angels sing
It ain't Christmas
If I sit at home without you
I don't wanna be home without you
I pray that you'd be the gift the angels bring

I pray, I pray, I pray

If I'm sitting home, yeah, yeah

It ain't Christmas
If I sit at home without you
I pray that you'd be the gift the angels bring
