CHRISTMAS HEARTBREAK (Chaney/Rodgers)

Though I’ll never understand why,
You felt you had to leave me,
I only know I’m all alone on Christmas Eve,

Your footprints in the snowdrift bring me sadness,
They move away from me and back to him,
I’ll never understand why you felt you had to leave me,
I only know I’m all alone on Christmas Eve,

The wind blows through these bare trees as the night falls,
I can’t leave this spot though I’m chilled down to the bone,
You’re with him by a fire, feeling longing and desire,
While I’m praying baby please won’t you come home,

Though I know you’ve gone away from me forever,
A spark of hope still lingers in my heart,
It's all I have to cling to,
It’s you who I must sing to,
Until then I’ll be struggling in the dark,

On Christmas morning I awaken to a stillness,
The tree you trimmed sits lonely by the door,
The tinsel shines like the teardrops on my pillow,
I don’t think that I can take it anymore,

Though I know you’ve gone away from me forever,
A spark of hope still lingers in my heart,
It's all I have to cling to,
It’s you who I must sing to,
Until then I’ll be struggling in the dark,

No I’ll never, no I’ll never,
Understand why you had to leave me,
I only know I’m all alone on Christmas eve,
I’m all alone on Christmas Eve.
