Won't Be Home For Christmas

Wait until the kids are sleeping

Don't want them to hear me leaving

I'll send a letter to the lawyers

I'm going to make this easy for you

But yet again (yet again, yet again)

Looks like I won't be home for Christmas

And yet again (yet again, yet again)

My bags are packed

It's late December

And another year has slipped away

Another lonely Christmas Day

I'll set a course for California

And try my very best not to call you

This year I'll escape the winter

Make a new start, break a new heart

But yet again (yet again, yet again, yet again)

Looks like I won't be home for Christmas

And yet again (yet again, yet again, yet again)

There's a thousand miles between us

And another year that's seen us

Throw it all away, one we won't get back again

Another lonely Christmas Day
