Christmas Day is getting closer but there's sadness mixed with joy   Every day a few more questions from our little girl and boy   Not alone but they'll be lonely for their daddy won't be here   And just like the air at Christmas there'll be a chill upon the chill      Christmas without daddy will be such a lonesome day   We'll send a prayer and all our love to you so far away   Your son just wrote to Santa asked him to send you home   Yes Christmas without daddy we'll be blue and all alone   [ steel ]   Christmas without daddy I don't know what we're gonna do   On the present from your baby she wrote daddy I love you   Your son just wrote to Santa asking him to send you home   Yes Christmas without daddy we'll be blue and all alone
