[Verse 1]
Christmas Day is getting closer
But there's sadness mixed with joy
Every day a few more questions
From our little girl and boy
Not alone, but they'll be lonely
For their daddy won't be here
And just like the air at Christmas
There'll be a chill upon the cheer

[Chorus 1]
Christmas without Daddy
Will be such a lonesome day
We'll send a prayer and all our love
To you so far away
Your son just wrote to Santa
Askin' him to send you home
This Christmas without Daddy
We'll be blue and all alone

[Chorus 2]
Christmas without Daddy
I don't know what we're gonna do
On the present from your baby
She wrote, "Daddy, I love you"
Your son just wrote to Santa
Askin' him to send you home
This Christmas without Daddy
We'll be blue and all alone
