So Near To Christmas lyrics

So near to Christmas
I can picture Christmas day
So full of memories
But, this year it wont be the same
Theres no mistaking,
It gets colder every day
So near to Christmas
And yet, youre so far away
So many parties
That were both invited to
I wont be going without you
Theres nothing I wanna do
No celebrations, and no games I wanna play
So near to Christmas
And yet youre so far away


All my friends have called and phoned
They know Im on my own
Ill be sitting at home, thinking of you
Hoping that you, hoping that youll be missing me too

So near to Christmas
And the children count the days
I see their faces, and remember
When I used to dream that way
My heart is aching, because your card arrived today
So near to Christmas
Darling youll be far away
