If You'Re Not Here With Me

My white Christmas dreams had come true, As the dim twilight began to close in, Then my winter wonderland faded to blue, I was lonesome with no happiness within. On a Christmas night, so lonely and blue, Surrounded by four decked, empty walls, Sitting by the tree, just thinking about you, As white snowflakes continued to fall. As the pine tree twinkled with brilliant light, My smile was lost, nowhere to be found, Though the ornaments were shining bright, I missed your warmth, not presently around. Pretty, paper packages of red and green, Are there, anticipating you at my door, The crackling fireside, cheerful and serene, Just as it was, the Christmas before. I long for your kiss under the mistletoe, So, how sad and lonely would I be, Looking out at that faded blue snow, If you're not here with me?
