Just like most other girls and boys

My dreams were fanciful of toys

And when December's snow would fall

I'd wish to Santa for them all

It seems so very long ago

When life was new and time moved slow

Before the fleeting of the years

Concealed my faith beneath my fears

I never thought I'd come to see

A Christmas mean as much to me

Or taste as sweet upon my tongue

As it once did when I was young

Now it just wouldn't feel like Christmas without you

Without your loving gifts of kindness and joy

You've brought back Christmas to my heart

I pray we'll never be apart

Because it wouldn't feel like Christmas without you

I never thought I'd come to see

A Christmas mean as much to me

Or taste as sweet upon my tongue

As it once did when I was young

Now it just wouldn't feel like Christmas without you

Without your loving gifts of kindness and joy

You've brought back Christmas to my heart

I pray we'll never be apart

Because it wouldn't feel like Christmas without you

Oh no it wouldn't feel like Christmas without you

Without your loving gifts of kindness and joy

You've brought back Christmas to my heart

I pray we'll never be apart

Because it wouldn't feel like Christmas without you

Oh no it wouldn't feel like Christmas without you

It wouldn't feel like Christmas without you
