Christmas time is here and my baby's so far away Christmas time is here and my baby's so far away Don't bring me nothin' for Christmas but bring my baby back today It's been so long since my heart was happy and gay My daddy's so far away but I hope he's not gone to stay Santa Claus don't bring me nothin' but my baby back today Santa Claus tell my baby I'm comin' 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 *** 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
