You left two years ago this Christmas
And we're wondering if you miss us
Don't know why you ever left and went away
The kids are lonely here without you
They even wrote old Santa 'bout you
Please don't leave them all alone this Christmas day

Don't you miss their arms around you
Don't old memories surround you
Don't you know it's not their fault things are this way
Why not show consideration
For the ones whose heart you're breakin'
Give them your gift of love this Christmas day

If you could see their little faces
As round the tree they take their places
They're looking for the biggest gift of all
So why not show consideration
For the ones whose heart you're breakin'
Won't you beckon to our lonely Christmas call
Won't you beckon to our lonely Christmas call
