Like Every Christmas Eve

I left a beer
for Santa near
my stocking by the fire,
hoping that he
would bring to me
what my heart most desires.

Like every Christmas Eve,
I can't get off to sleep.
I wish that you were here.

There, underneath
the Christmas tree,
a present might have been
wrapped in shiny
paper and
left by someone who loves me.

Like every Christmas Eve,
I can't get off to sleep.
I wish that you were here.

My baby's gone.
Baby's gone and
he's never coming back.
My baby's gone.
I'm all alone.
Merry Christmas, and all that.
