It Ain't Christmas

I know the day on the calendar

I put the lights on the tree

No matter the date

Or how I celebrate

It ain't Christmas

If you're not with me

Jingle Bell Rock on the radio

That's the one you liked the best

Neighborhood kids

On garbage can lids

Reminders I'd like to forget

I know the day on the calendar

I put the lights on the tree

No matter the date

Or how I celebrate

It ain't Christmas

If you're not with me

I still remember Decembers

You'd hang mistletoe by the door

And that first kiss, always felt like you missed me

Since at least the Christmas before

I know the day on the calendar

I put the lights on the tree

No matter the date

Or how I celebrate

It ain't Christmas

If you're not with me

Yeah I curse the lights on the lamppost

Oh I curse the snow on the ground

And I swear I need you each month of the year

But December it hurts more somehow

I hear the carolers singing

Whiskey to drown out the sound

One more Silent Night

As I close my eyes

Ain't the season

Without you around

I know the day on the calendar

I put the lights on the tree

No matter the date

Or how I celebrate

It ain't Christmas

If you're not with me

It ain't Christmas

If you're not with me
