It Just Don't Feel Like Christmas (Without You)
Rihanna · Other Songs - Rihanna
Verse One
Another day, another reminder.
That you're not here with me.
I watch the snowflakes falling from the skies.
I get lost in memories.
The time we try to build a snow man.
The time we try to count the stars.
It's crazy how we didn't know that.
That we'd ever be apart.
Chorus
I can hear the music playing.
See the lights upon the tree.
I can feel the joy in every soul.
But for me it's incomplete.
And i try my best to play the part.
But no matter what i do.
No, it just don't feel like christmas, without you.
Youuuuuu, you, you. No.
Verse Two
Another tear, another regret boy.
That your so far away.
Can't believe it was only last year.
We shared that christmas day.
Remember when we took the sleigh ride.
Remember singing by the fire.
There's not too muches in the day light.
I keep re-living you and I.
Chorus
I can hear the music playing.
See the lights upon the tree.
I can feel the joy in every soul.
But for me it's incomplete.
And i try my best to play the part.
But no matter what i do.
No, it just don't feel like christmas, without you.
Youuuuuu, you, you. No.

The time we try to build a snow man.
