I remember how it was last year
You came along and I held you near
Now I stand under the mistletoe
Where my baby is, I don't know

ooh baby, please don't leave
Not on Christmas Eve
Not on Christmas
Not on Christmas

We go outside in the falling snow
Slow dancing, both our hearts aglow
By the fire we held each other tight
You're the best present on Christmas night

Now the fire's out, its dark and cold
Marshmellows and cocoa, but no one's home
The Christmas magic can't bring me cheer
oh baby what I'd give to have you near

ooh baby, please don't leave
Not on Christmas Eve
Not on Christmas
Not on Christmas

Hear the reindeer hooves outside my door
It must be Santa wonder what's in store
What to my wondering eyes should appear
The stroke of midnight and my baby's here

my baby's here to stay
Now that its Christmas Day
Oh on Christmas
Christmas Day
