Christmases When You Were Mine

Please take down the mistletoe

'Cause I don't wanna think about that right now

'Cause everything I want is miles away

In a snow covered little town

My mama's in the kitchen, worrying about me

"Seasons greetings, hope you're well"

Well I'm doin' all right if you were wondering

Lately I can never tell



I know this shouldn't be a lonely time

But there were Christmases when you were mine



I've been doin' fine without you, really

Up until the nights got cold

And everybody's here except you, baby

Seems like everyone's got someone to hold



But for me it's just a lonely time

'Cause there were Christmases when you were mine



"Merry Christmas, everybody"

That'll have to be something I just say this year



I'll bet you got your mom another sweater

And were your cousins late again?

When you were puttin' up the lights this year

Did you notice one less pair of hands?



I know this shouldn't be a lonely time

But there were Christmases when I didn't

Wonder how you are tonight

'Cause there were Christmases when you were mine

You were mine
