Can you hear all the carolers? Are you warm by the fire? Can you taste the hot chocolate? Is it sweet? Though I am not there and it doesn't feel fair I'm happy to know you have holiday cheer Did you build your own snowman? Open gifts just because you can? Is the star placed upon the top of your tree? It doesn't feel right I'm not there by your side This isn't the same type of silent night There's no dashing through the woods Only shoulda, woulda, coulds And no Santa with his reindeer on his sleigh But you're jolly without me, and I wouldn't have it any other way Have you gone riding on a sled? Built a house made of gingerbread? Hang up lights that are shining just like your smile? I'm sorry to say I wish I could stay Especially during the holidays There's no dashing through the woods Only shoulda, woulda, coulds And no Santa with his reindeer on his sleigh But you're jolly without me, and I wouldn't have it any other way But you're jolly without me, and I wouldn't have it any other way But you're jolly without me, and I wouldn't have it any other way
