Fancy paper, pretty ribbons

Wrap each present that is new

And the sounds of this good season fills the night

We'll light a fire, send seasons greetings

We'll sing a song of Yule

There's nothing wrong but this year Christmas isn't right

 

Oh it's a beautiful day

We'll give thanks and we'll pray

For every blessing and the dreams that came true

Oh it's a beautiful night

But I can't wait for first light

When the sky will shine a different kind of blue

 

Snow still falling, friends are calling

Bringing laughter and good cheer

Wine is flowing and another year's gone by

Nothing's changed but life keeps changing

Some say hello, some say goodbye

It's the memories that keep me warm tonight

 

Oh it's a beautiful day

We'll give thanks and we'll pray

For every blessing and the dreams that came true

Oh it's a beautiful night

But I can't wait for first light

That's when the sky will shine a different kind of blue

This year Christmas isn't Christmas without you

 

How am I supposed to let you go

When you're the only thing I've ever known

You're the reason that I keep holding on

Now who's strong and who's afraid

Tomorrow won't be yesterday

Tomorrow just can't be like yesterday

 

Fancy paper, pretty ribbons

Promise me you'll come home soon

'Cause Christmas isn't Christmas without you

Oh Christmas isn't Christmas without you
