We won't have a Christmas this year, you say

For now the children have all gone away

And the house is so lonely, so quiet and so bare

We couldnīt have a Christmas that they didnīt share



We won't have a Christmas this year, you sigh

For Christmas means things that money must buy

Misfortunes and illness have robbed us we fear

Of the things that we'd need to make Christmas this year



We won't have a Christmas this year you weep,

For a loved one is gone, and our grief is too deep

It will be a long time before our hearts heal,

And the spirit of Christmas again we can feel.

But if you lose Christmas when troubles befall

You never have really had Christmas at all

For once you have had it, it cannot depart

When you learn that true Christmas is Christ in your heart
