Chantily Lace - The Big Bopper

by the chimney

are two stockings

one for you and one for me but im waiting, anticipating

decorating the tree

pretty ribbons shiny paper

should i wrap these gifts alone

'cause you told me very bodly

that you wont be home

CHORUS

why cant you be here for Christmas

why cant you ber here with me with tears in my eyes

I ask has our love died

why cant you be here for Christmas

on the sidewalk

boys and girls walk

arm in arm but your not here

is my lover with another

for christmas this year

im so lonely

for your holding

underneath the mistletoe

how my heart aches

o dear God make my baby come home

(CHORUS)

why cant you be here for Christmas (2x)
