Christmastime is here And my baby's so far away Christmastime is here And my baby is so far away Don't bring me nothing for Christmas But my baby back today It's been so long since my heart was happy My daddy is so far away But I hope he's not gone to stay Santa Claus, don't bring me nothing But my baby back today Santa Claus, tell my baby I'm coming home today I'm gonna hold her close this Christmas And never stray away 'Cause it's so sad and lonely When my baby's far from me I'm gonna meet her tonight Beneath the Christmas tree I'm gonna grab you Christmas morning Don't you ever let me go And by New year's morning baby I won't be blue, no more 'Cause it's so sad and lonely When my baby's far from me I'm gonna meet you tonight Beneath the Christmas tree
