It’s a very special Christmas
on a very special year
The first Christmas since you left me
There ain’t no need to hide my tears
I’ve gotten used to being alone
But with this season comes the pain
And I’m waiting for your phone-call
But your phone-call never comes

It’s a very special Christmas
I don’t know what I should say
when ma and pa they say they’ve missed us
They don’t know you went away
And I can’t stand to face the truth
I can’t stand to face myself
And the bottles are all empty
On this grey December day

I know it wasn’t hard
For you to see me through
And I’ve been lying to you each and every day
I know you won’t come back
But I pray that you will give me one more chance

It’s a very special Christmas
And your number’s by the phone
And I know I shouldn’t call you
‘Cause I get the numbers wrong
And when I finally hear your voice
I just don’t know what to say
On this very special Christmas
On this grey December day
