Spending Christmas - Chuck Berry

If I could only spend this Christmas

With those I love and long to see

Somewhere where pretty lights are glowing

Nowhere around the Christmas tree

I help to wrap the Christmas presents

And scrim the goodies under tree

Help bake the cakes and roast the turkey

Or sit with children while they play

If I could only hear bells ringing

Or just the sounding of a child

Or walk with those who sing the carols

Out in the snow in Christmas time

But here the season’s oh so lonely

It twinkles through the blue

What are these stars above I’m sending

Of merry Christmas on to you
