Wrote myself a letter
I told myself a lie
That you'll be coming home soon
And then your name I sigh
I read it every morning
Since you went away
I'm living in a dream world
And dying a little more each day

Wrote myself a love song
Believing every word
Saying that you love me
In melodies unheard
That you'll be coming back soon
And forever you will stay
I'm living in a dream world
And dying a little more each day

Snow is on the sidewalk
It's cold inside my heart
I look up and I wonder
Have I lost my guiding star
And everything is white outside
How can it be so dark?

Say a prayer and thank God
That your love is mine alone
And never be another
Who could grace our happy home
Pray on Christmas morning
That this time you will stay
But I'm living in a dream world
And dying a little more each day
Yes, I'm dying
For love on Christmas day
