The Christmas lights, won’t go up this year
And I keep forgetting, to set the garbage out
I miss the way, you always save the day
And who am I gonna kiss on New Year’s Eve?

And it helps to know. . .

That we’re under the same sky tonight
Under the same moon shining bright
These same stars blanket us-- so very far away
Can’t wait for the day--when you ride in, I see your smile again, and you take all this fear--away

And when the clouds roll in, and I can’t see the stars
When all the fish are dead, and the lights go off again
I miss the way, that you’d set my alarm
And wake me up to breakfast in your arms

And it helps to know. . .

Selfishly I want you here right by my side
Yet the proud part of my heart would have you right where you are
Across the world, your fighting to help freedom ring
But I don’t feel free, No, I don’t feel free

But that’s what you do, that’s what you do, yeah that’s what you do, yeah that’s what you do
And I miss you, yeah I miss you, yeah and I miss you. Oh I miss you
The Christmas lights won’t go up this year and who am I gonna kiss on New Year’s Eve?
