Christmas Original

lyrics

Dear Jamie, New York at night is lovely
there're lights hung on every tree,
Maybe ma will let you come see me soon.
They lit up the tree last Sunday
it's the biggest you've ever seen
and as bright as the morning snow back home.

Well I'm out on the road again
and I can't make it home this Christmas
maybe next year we'll see.
Looking forward to all your letters,
don't you know that I miss you so,
Merry Christmas, darling. XO.

Dear Jamie, I've been in California
moving North along the coast,
my plan's to see snow by New Years.
They wrapped lights up all of the palm trees
but they just have a different glow.
I'm missing the glimmer of home.

Well I'm out on the road again
and I can't make it home this Christmas
maybe next year we'll see.
Looking forward to all your letters,
don't you know that I miss you so,
Merry Christmas, darling.

I'm out making my dreams come true
so I can't quite make it home to you
this holiday, don't cry for my baby
you know I'll be better off.
I've been drinking and I've been down
but I'm looking up when I hit the ground
this holiday, don't cry for me baby
you know you'll be better off.

Haven't heard from you lately Jamie
Maybe it's just that time of year
I wish I never left at all.
Never knew how to be a father,
but I wish I was there with you,
Merry Christmas darling. XO
