Christmas Away

Words and music by Warren Payne

Oh, the bright lights are shining on our old Christmas tree

And the presents are hidden away

How I wish I could be there, you sharing with me

But I’m gone, spending Christmas away.

Oh, the nights by the fire, you keeping me warm

Running errands all through the day

Drinking hot apple cider, eating cookies and more

But I’m gone, spending Christmas away.

There’s snow out my window and cold in my heart

As I stare out my window today

But there’s nothing that warms me like the thought of your love

And it chases my blues away.

How I long for your smile, me looking at you

How I love you more than I can say

But for now I’ll remember, I’ll keep my love true

‘Til I’m home, not Christmas away

I want to be home, not Christmas away.
