Well, it's Christmas time, everybody
But it's raining in my heart
Well, it's Christmas time, everybody
But it's raining in my heart
And you know that I love you, baby
Tell me, why must we be apart?

Well, you told me New Year's Eve
We'd be together Christmas time
Well, you told me New Year's Eve
We'd be together Christmas time
Well, it's Christmas Eve, my darling
You'll be here when the bells begin to chime

What is a ship without a crew?
What is the morning without the dew?
What is a ship without a crew?
What is the morning without the dew?
What is my life, little darling?
A lonely Christmas without you
