Letra
The fire is burning The room's all aglow Outside the December wind blows Away in the distance The carolers sing in the snow Everybody's laughing The world is celebrating And everyone's so happy Except for me tonight Because... [Chorus:] I miss you Most at Christmas time And I can't get you Get you off my mind Every other season comes along And I'm all right But then I miss you Most at Christmas time I gaze out the window This cold winters' night At all of the twinkling lights Alone in the darkness Remembering when you were mine Everybody's smiling The whole world is rejoicing And everyone's embracing Except for you and I Baby... [Chorus] In the springtime Those memories start to fade With the April rain Through the summer days Till Autumn's leaves are gone I get by without you Till the snow begins to fall And then... [Chorus] - Joy To The World4:20
