Merry Christmas (Wherever You Are)
George Strait · Christmas Collection [Madacy] [2005]
I had no reason for shopping this season
But I hung your stocking today
It makes me feel better
Though we're not together
You'll always be in my heart
Merry Christmas, wherever you are.
Since it was Christmas
I thought you might call
Or have you stopped thinkin' about me at all
It'd be a perfect white Christmas
A storybook picture
If I could just share it with you
Though you're not here with me
I've got your memories
They keep me goin' sweetheart
Merry Christmas wherever you are.
--- Instrumental ---
Though you're not here with me
I've got your memories
You'll always be in my heart
Merry Christmas wherever you are.
Merry Christmas wherever you are...
