Why Can't You Be Here For Christmas? Lyrics - All I Want For Christmas Is You - Vince Vance And The Valiants

By the chimney are two stockings 

One for you and one for me 

But I'm waiting, anticipating 

Decorating the tree 

Pretty ribbons, shiny paper 

Should I wrap these gifts alone? 

'Cause you told me very boldly 

That you won't be home 

Why can't you be here for Christmas? 

Why can't you be here with me? 

With tears in my eyes I ask, has our love died? 

Why can't you be here for Christmas? 

On the sidewalk boys and girls walk 

Arm in arm but you're not here 

Is my lover with another 

For Christmas this year? 

I'm so lonely for your holding 

Underneath the mistletoe 

How my heart aches 

Oh, dear God make my baby come home 

Why can't you be here for Christmas? 

Why can't you be here with me? 

With tears in my eyes I ask, has our love died? 

Why can't you be here for Christmas? 

Why can't you be here for Christmas? 

Why can't you be here for Christmas?
