Christmas Tears (E. Clapton)

I hear sleigh bells ringing
But I haven't heard a word from you and me
I hear sleigh bells ringing
But I haven't heard a word from you and me
I hear choirs singing
But I'm just sitting here crying Christmas tears

Everybody singing "Merry Christmas"
As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer
Everybody singing "Merry Christmas"
As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer
I'm smiling on the outside
But on the inside I'm crying Christmas tears

You've been gone such a long, long time
But it's Christmas and I can't get you off of my mind
Seems like you've been gone for a hundred years or more
But if you were here with me now
I'd hear "Merry Christmas" on my door

I need you darling, kissing, holding tight
I need you darling, on this lonely Christmas night
And as I sit and think of the lonely years
I can't help but cry, oh, oh, oh, oh, Christmas tears
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Christmas tears
