Christmas is coming down
Ten dollar bill in my pocket
I let my baby down
I want to blast off like a rocket

People are on my way
Children await the surprise
I tried to hide my face
I tried to stop my eyes

I made my baby cry
I made her say goodbye

And the winter keeps coming back
As the rain begins to fall
And I know you're not coming back
But I had to make the call
You say you're not far away
You want to stay in touch
Well I could blame this holiday
But I miss you much too much

I tried to make it clean
Something inside wouldn't listen

I woke from the dream you were missing

I made my baby cry
I made her say goodbye
And the winter keeps coming back
As the snow begins to fall
And I know you're not coming back
But I had to make the call

Maybe you're with someone else
And he's holding you tight
My reindeer that disappeared
I still hope you're alright

Christmas is coming down
People are on my way
It was sunny when I got out
To the street where the trees all lay

Christmas is coming down

Christmas is coming down
Ten dollar bill in my pocket
I let my baby down
