It's Such A Lonely Time Of Year

Snow falling down, children all around

And I'll be their Santa Claus clown

It's a time for girls and boys

Just look at me, happy as can be

Taking pleasure just to see them

Playing with their toys

I haven't heard a word from you

And wonderin' what you're doin'

Wish that you could see them too

And be here by my side

And almost everyday one of them will say

"Why'd he ever have to go away?"

And the tears are so hard to hide

It's such a lonely time of year

Holidays and birthdays

Summer days and winter days

And any day when you're not here

Now Johnny's getting big and Mary's like a twig

And little Joe's so grown up

He helped momma trim the tree

And lookin' at him now it's funny

But somehow I get the strangest feeling

You're standing right here by me

Now he's so much like a man

Reaching for my hand

And tryin' so hard to understand

Why my mood is changed

I got to turn my face away

I don't know what to say

And try to get myself together

And keep from callin' out your name

It's such a lonely time of year

Holidays and birthdays

And summer days and winter days

And any day when you're not here

Yes, It's such a lonely time of year

Holidays and birthdays

And summer days and winter days

And rainy days and sunny days

Any day when you're not here

Holidays and birthdays

Summer days and winter days

And rainy days and sunny days

Any day when you're not here
