[English]

EVERY YEAR RIGHT AROUND THIS TIME

PEOPLE PUTTING UP TREES AND LIGHTS

AND I BEEN THINKING THAT THIS

DON'T FEEL RIGHT

CAUSE I'M WITHOUT YOU

IF I COULD MAKE A LIST

YOU'D BE THE FIRST IN IT

IF I COULD MAKE A WISH

YOU'D SHOW IN A MINUTE

ONLY IF IT WAS THAT WAY

BUT THERE'S SOME THINGS

THAT I CAN'T CHANGE

SO NOW THIS AIN'T WINTER WITHOUT YOU

NO MORE JOY NO LAUGHTER

WISH THAT I COULD

TURN IT BACK AROUND

WHEN I'M FALLING DOWN

SO HOW,

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO WITHOUT YOU?

DAYS GONE COLD SO WON'T YOU

SAY THAT YOU'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

I DON'T CARE ABOUT NO MISTLETOE

ON THE DL I STILL MISS YOU THOUGH

LOOKING CUTE AT

EVERY CHRISTMAS PARTY

POSTING ON MY STORY

STILL A LITTLE SNOWY YEAH

JOYFUL JOYFUL JOYFUL RAISE YOUR VOICE

EVERYBODY COME AND RAISE YOUR VOICE

SO NOW HEY LET ME TELL THE TRUTH

IF I REMEMBER WE WOULD SIT BY THE FIRE HOLDING HANDS

SWEET SMELL OF SUGAR AND SPICE

WAS HEAVEN SCENT

BUT LIKE THE SEASON YOU WAS

GONE WITH THE WIND FALL WINTER SPRING

BACK AROUND WITH MY DECEMBER BLUES

I'VE BEEN FEELING AGAIN

SO LISTEN

I REALLY WANNA KNOW WHERE

WE WENT WRONG

I WANNA KNOW IF YOU WOULD

HEAR THIS SONG

AND IF I COULD TURN BACK THE TIME

YOU'D BE IN MY ARMS AGAIN

BUT THERE'S SOME THINGS

THAT I CAN'T CHANGE

SO NOW THIS AIN'T WINTER WITHOUT YOU

NO MORE JOY NO LAUGHTER

WISH THAT I COULD

TURN IT BACK AROUND

WHEN I'M FALLING DOWN

SO HOW,

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO WITHOUT YOU?

DAYS GONE COLD SO WON'T YOU

SAY THAT YOU'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

HEAVY SNOW

POURING OUT MY WINDOW

(WINDOW OH)

I PRAY TO STARS AND THE ANGELS

NO NO MORE LONELY NIGHTS

NO WAY TO HIDE

WHY I NEED YOU FOR SURE

SO I KEEP WISHING AND HOPING

YOU'D WALK THROUGH THE DOOR

(WALK THROUGH THE DOOR)

HOLD ME CAUSE I KNOW WE'LL FIGHT THROUGH THE COLD

(FIGHT THROUGH THE STORM)

AS LONG AS I AM WITH MY BABY PLEASE

HURRY UP HURRY UP

I’LL BE STAY’IN UP ALL NIGHT

NO MATTER WHAT I UNWRAP IN THE MORNING

I WON'T BE THE SAME

I'D PLAYBACK EVERY MOMENT

THERE'S NOBODY ELSE TO RUN TO

BELIEVIN' IT LIKE IT'S TRUE

THAT YOU WOULD COME TO RESCUE

I MERRY MISS YOU NOW TELL ME HOW

NOW TELL ME HOW

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO WITHOUT YOU?

DAYS GONE COLD SO WON'T YOU

SAY THAT YOU'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

SO NOW, THIS AIN'T WINTER WITHOUT YOU

NO MORE JOY NO LAUGHTER

WISH THAT I COULD TURN IT BACK AROUND

WHEN I'M FALLING DOWN

SO HOW,

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO WITHOUT YOU?

DAYS GONE COLD SO WON'T YOU

SAY THAT YOU'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

WOO BABY TALK TO ME NOW

THIS IS WHERE I’M GOING DOWN

NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT

LET ME TURN IT AROUND

WHEN IT’S ALL FALLING DOWN

JUST TELL ME HOW

SO BABY WON’T YOU
