But there were Christmases when you were mine

I've been doing fine without you, really
Up until the nights got cold
And everybody's here except you, baby
Seems like everyone's got someone to hold

But for me it's just a lonely time
'Cause there were Christmases when you were mine
Merry Christmas everybody
That'll have to be something I just say this year

Bet you got your mom another sweater
Were your cousins late again?
When you were putting up the lights this year
Did you notice one less pair of hands?

I know there shouldn't be a lonely time
But there were Christmases when I didn't
Wonder how you are tonight
'Cause there were Christmases when you were mine
You were mine
