Merry Christmas, I Miss You

I met her in a coffee shop
December twenty second 'bout six o’clock
She asked if I wanted a double shot
I said I’ve already had enough
I think I’d better not
She smiled and laughed and said
Okay, that’s a dollar twenty seven
Can I get your name?
I said if I can have your number
You can have my name
And then I reached into my pocket
And spilled all my change
But that was a long time ago
Now I’m missing you and
This coffee is getting cold
This time of year ain’t the same without you
Even though I’ve got my friends
There’s just something about waking up
Beside you that I know I won’t feel again
This time of year ain’t the same without you
I wish that you could hear me say
Merry Christmas, I hope you remember
To watch the snow today
I finally threw out the tree you picked
And swept away the ornaments
Remember decorating it
And stopping just so we could kiss
The polaroids we took are fading
I wonder what you’d say if
I just burned them all
Maybe it’s true, I’ve been feeling blue
Waiting for you just to call me
Maybe then I will feel jolly
But that was a long time ago
I don’t want to drink this coffee all alone
This time of year ain’t the same without you
Even though I’ve got my friends
There’s just something about waking up
Beside you that I know I won’t feel again
This time of year ain’t the same without you
I wish that you could hear me say
Merry Christmas, I hope you remember
To watch the snow today
(Merry Christmas, I miss you)
