Christmas Bells

Daylight is fading, turn on the lights I'm drinking daily into the night The radio's playing that old song by Slade So I sit here blazing, memories we made When the Christmas bells ring out, they don't sound Like they did every year you were here When the mistletoe comes 'round, we don't kiss Like we did all the years you were here Everyone's praying this year it's white Radio's playing the same old tune When the Christmas bells ring out, they don't sound Like they did every year you were here When the mistletoe comes 'round, we don't kiss Like we did all the years you were here Snow fell down all around On the day that you left town Children sing in the streets Songs you used to sing to me Close my eyes until December ends And all of the whiskey has been drank All the wrapping paper has been torn Just like my heart when you left home When the Christmas bells ring out (the bells ring out), they don't sound Like they did every year you were here When the mistletoe comes 'round (when it comes 'round), we don't kiss Like we did all the years you were here When the Christmas bells ring out (the bells ring out), they don't sound Like they did every year you were here When the mistletoe comes 'round (when it comes 'round), we don't kiss Like we did every year you were here When the Christmas bells ring out (the bells ring out), they don't sound Like they did all the years that you were here When the mistletoe comes 'round (when it comes 'round), we don't kiss Like we did all the years you were here --- Christmas Bells - James Arthur
