If I could feel a memory instead of turn back time
I know the past is all that's left of you and I
I'd relive when we first met
When you caught my eye
The rush of us and all that was right now would be so nice
But I know when Christmas comes around
And the snow falls like a fresh start on the ground
You aren't the one I'm missing
He left long ago
But Christmas Eve, my gift to me is
Dancing with your ghost, so merry Christmas
To the one I used to know
If everything was like a dream, you'd be by my side
And who I thought you were was true, not madе up in my mind
You'd be here in my arms
Whеre I thought you'd be tonight
Instead of me, left wondering, was everything a lie?
But I know when Christmas comes around
And the snow falls like a fresh start on the ground
You aren't the one I'm missing
He left long ago
But Christmas Eve, my gift to me is
Dancing with your ghost, so merry Christmas
To the one I used to know
Once a year, I let my heart go back to you and me
A secret gift to myself
On Christmas Eve
If I could feel a memory instead of turn back time
I know that the past is all that's left of you and I
Still I know when Christmas comes around
And the snow falls like a fresh start on the ground
You aren't the one I'm missing
No, he left long ago
But Christmas Eve, my gift to me is
Dancing with your ghost, so merry Christmas
To the one I used to know
So merry Christmas
To the one I used to know
