every one is so jolly with their spirits bright
except for me, crying myself to sleep each night
youre the only thing i wanted this year
I get more and more upset as christmas is near
the first without you, but not the last
I just wanted to go back to years past
december 21st and im crying alone
its been nearly a year since youve been home
its midnight and my Christmas list isnt full of things
its midnight and the doorbell rings
I open the door the and theres no pizza here
I open the door and I got my wish this year
strong, proud and dressed in green
youll always be my favorite marine
