She said she always loved this time of year And how used to celebrate when he was here Then he went away - nothing more to say He's not coming home She's gonna be alone for the holidays She wrote down every word in her diary She reads it now and then To remind her of how it used to be He's not here today - there's nothing more to say She's gonna be alone for the holidays She cries all night on Christmas Eve She just gets by on Christmas day She's lost her will but kept her faith But he's not coming home She's gonna be alone for the holidays She cries all night on New Year's Eve She just gets by on New Year's Day She's lost her will but kept her faith He's never coming home Alone for the holidays
