Loved ones gather round the table

another Christmas has arrived

But I'm running low on Christmas spirit

I've looked everywhere inside

On this dark and cold December

I sit quietly and remember

our times together

that I can see so clear

I wish you were here

Now the nights are growing longer

the feelings feel a little stronger

when I feel I'm getting back on track

at this time of year

it all comes flooding back

So I look up at the night sky

I see no reindeer that can fly

All I see is love and Christmas cheer

I wish you were here

People gather in the town hall

others gather in their homes

people fill the streets around me

but somehow I still feel alone

So I wish you Merry Christmas

I hope you're somewhere near

time to welcome in a brand new year

I wish you were here

I wish you were here
