Christmas Tears - Eric Clapton

I hear sleigh bells ring

I haven’t heard a word from you in years

I hear sleigh bells ringin'

But I haven’t heard a word from you in years

I hear choirs singin'

And I’m just sittin' here cryin' Christmas tears

Everybody’s singin' «Merry Christmas»

As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer

Everybody’s singin' «Merry Christmas»

As they watch the starry sky filled with reindeer

I’m smilin' on the outside

But on the inside I’m cryin' Christmas tears

You been gone such a long, long time

But it’s Christmas and I can’t get you off of my mind

Seems like you been gone a hundred years or more

But if you wer here with me now

I’d hang «Mrry Christmas» on my door

I need ya darling

Kiss and hold me tight

I need ya darling

On a lonely Christmas night

And as I sit and think of the lonely years

I can’t help but cry, oh, Christmas tears

Oh, Christmas tears
