Daddy Won't Be Home Again For Christmas

Daddy won't be home again for Christmas

But I just hope that this little check will fit

Daddy won't be home again for Christmas

But maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget

The Christmas tree where I'll be won't be lighted

But the rain and cold will let us know December's here

Forgive me for the letters I don't answer

But I keep thinking I'll be home again each year

But Daddy won't be home again for Christmas

But here's hoping that this little check will fit

Daddy won't be home again for Christmas

But maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget

(Don't forget)

I know Santa Claus won't bring you all the things you need

But maybe he will be kinder if he knows

That I won't be home again this year to play his role

And besides I'm much to thin to wear his clothes

Daddy won't be home again for Christmas

But here's hoping that this little check will fit

No, Daddy won't be home again for Christmas

But maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget
