I Can't Have a Merry Christmas

I can’t have a Merry Christmas Mary without you
To do the things together that we used to do
Now it was Christmas when you left me and now spirits make me blue
I can’t have a Merry Christmas Mary without you

I’ve waited since last Christmas just hoping you’d be true
My friends all say I’m crazy honey but I still believe in you
So I’ve kept that old tree a burning with the lights of pretty blue
I can’t have a Merry Christmas Mary without you

Don’t send me Christmas greetings or gifts wrapped in blue
Just bring yourself my darling and make my dreams come true
For last night I dreamed old Santa Clause
Said that you were lonesome too
I can’t have a Merry Christmas Mary without you
I can’t have a Merry Christmas Mary without you
