The bells are in my ear, and stars are in my eye.
My head is filled with tears, and haunting lullabies.
I almost taste the peace, and I almost smell the joy.
As we approach the feast, to praise the baby boy.
So I won't be crying, I won't be sighing.
But if I'm hiding a tear.
Here, it's cause my heart beats so far away.
You see I won't be home for Christmas this year.
The candles lick the dark.
The carols fill the night.
The angels sing a heart.
To every winking light.
So I won't be crying, I won't be sighing.
But if I'm hiding a tear.
It's cause my heart beats so far away.
You see I won't be home for Christmas.
I won't be home for Christmas.
I won't be home for Christmas this year
Thousands of miles away
My soul's trying to beat the blues
My heart says get out and play
But my mind remains confused
So I won't be crying
I won't be sighing
But if I'm hiding a tear
It's cause my heart beats so far away
See I won't be home for Christmas
I won't be home for Christmas
No I won't be home for Christmas
This year
Oh no
No I won't be home for Christmas
This year
