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
