Lyrics
Fancy paper, pretty ribbons
Wrap each present that is new
And the sounds of this good season fills the night
We'll light a fire, send season's greetings
We'll sing a song of Yule
There's nothing wrong, but this year Christmas isn't right
Oh, it's a beautiful day
We'll give thanks and we'll pray
For every blessing and the dreams that came true
Oh, it's a beautiful night
But I can't wait for first light
When that sky will shine a different kind of blue
Snow still falling, friends are calling
Bringing laughter and good cheer
Wine is flowing and another year's gone by
Nothing's changed, but life keeps changing
Some say hello, some say goodbye
It's the memories that keep me warm tonight
Oh, it's a beautiful day
We'll give thanks and we'll pray
For every blessing and the dreams that came true
Oh, it's a beautiful night
But I can't wait for first light
That's when the sky will shine a different kind of blue
This year, Christmas isn't Christmas without you
How am I supposed to let you go?
You're the only thing I've ever known
You're the reason that I keep holding on
Now, who's strong and who's afraid?
Tomorrow won't be yesterday
Tomorrow just can't be like yesterday
Yeah, yeah
Fancy paper, pretty ribbons
Promise me you'll come home soon
'Cause Christmas isn't Christmas without you
Oh, Christmas isn't Christmas without you
Writer(s): Redd Stewart, Pee Wee King, Jon Bon Jovi
