*This year there'll
be no Christmas
No tidings of
good cheer

No Santa Claus
and reindeer
Upon a
midnight clear

No ornaments
and tinsel
No gifts beneath
the tree

No silent night
or jingle bells
No carved
Nativity

There'll be no
roasted chestnuts
or snowmen
made of white

It's just another
morning,
one more
lonely night

This year there'll
be no Christmas,
the best time
of the year

No happiness
within my heart
Because you are
not here
