Christmas Longing: A Heartfelt Letter in Song
Lyrics
I'm writing a letter to say I still care
I'm expressing my feelings in a letter to convey that I still care about you.
And I wish you would hear it's Christmas
I hope you realize it's Christmas as I speak from the heart.
And it's way past the late mass
It's late in the day, past the typical time for mass, emphasizing the lateness.
I'm saying a prayer
I'm offering a prayer, possibly for your well-being or our connection.
I can picture you here last Christmas
I remember you being here the previous Christmas.
I know you're so far from home
Acknowledging that you are far away from home.
But you know that you're never alone
Assuring that despite the distance, you are not alone.
I know you're so far away
Acknowledging the physical distance again.
Till you're home safe again I'll just pray
Expressing the commitment to pray until the person returns safely home.
Oh, it's Christmas again
Noting that it's Christmas once more.
But it won't be without you
Despite the festive season, it feels incomplete without you.
Oh, it's Christmas again
Reiterating the sentiment that Christmas lacks joy in your absence.
I'm so lonely without you
Expressing loneliness during the holiday season without the person.
I'm turning my collar to the cold and the wind
Symbolically turning away from the cold and wind, awaiting the person's return.
Till you're home safe again
Repeating the commitment to wait until the person is home safely.
And it's Christmas
Emphasizing the holiday atmosphere by mentioning Christmas again.
We're saving your present, it's under the tree
Acknowledging a saved present under the tree for the person's return.
When you're with me, you'll see
Anticipating that when together, the joy of Christmas will be experienced.
It's Christmas
Repeating the theme that it's Christmas.
I know you're so far away
Reiterating the awareness of physical distance but expressing unchanged feelings.
But you know that I still feel the same
Assuring that the emotional connection remains despite the physical separation.
I know you're so far from home
Acknowledging the person being far from home once again.
But no matter how far, you're never alone
Reassuring that regardless of the distance, the person is not alone.
Oh, it's Christmas again
Noting the recurrence of Christmas, with a similar sentiment of incompleteness.
But it won't be without you
Reiterating the idea that Christmas lacks full joy without the person.
Oh, it's Christmas again
Expressing loneliness during the holiday season without the person, similar to earlier lines.
I'm so lonely without you
Repeating the expression of deep loneliness during Christmas.
I'm so lonely without you
Emphasizing the persistent feeling of loneliness without the person.
I'm so lonely without you
Reiterating the profound sense of loneliness without the person during Christmas.
