But don't hang the mistletoe this year
When you decorate the tree hang a special star for me
But don't hang the mistletoe this year

Christmas eve you'll hang your stocking by the chimmny with care
And if the Lord above be willing, next year I'll be there
And may Christmas fill your heart but because we'll be apart
But don't hang the mistletoe this year

Christmas eve you'll hang your stocking by the chimmny with care
And if the Lord above be willing, next year I'll be there
And may Christmas fill your heart but because we'll be apart
But don't hang the mistletoe this year
