Won't Cry on Christmas - Charles Esten

It’s a cold December evening

I’m setting up the tree

Doing all those Christmas things you do

Crosby sings out «Merry

And bright it all should be»

But the sun’s already gone

And so are you

You’d best believe

I’ll be a mess home Christmas Eve

But I won’t cry on Christmas

No, I won’t give in

To all the tears that try to fall

Like the snow out in the wind

It’s the coldest winter

It’s ever been

And I wish I didn’t know what I was missing

Here below the mistletoe without your kissing

But I won’t cry on Christmas

I used to take that silver angel

I’d put 'er up on top

You’d clap, we’d stand back

And just hold hands

And then I’d say «I love you»

And you’d say «Never stop»

And now I’m here just praying that I can’t

It’s hard to fight

This silent night

But I won’t cry on Christmas

No, I won’t give in

To all the tears that try to fall

Like the snow out in the wind

It’s the coldest winter

It’s ever been

And I wish I didn’t know what I was missing

Here below the mistletoe without your kissing

But I won’t cry on Christmas

No, I won’t cry on Christmas
