lyrics

She hasn't sent a letter this semester / She hasn't sent her picture since last year / She's not returned the phone calls I have left her / With wishes for a holiday that's full of love and cheer / The last time that we talked, she said "I love you" / But she hung up before I said the same / Somewhere in the air my words still linger / With the help of Santa's reindeer, perhaps they'll find their way // I won't be home for Christmas this year / But I'll be thinking of her anyway / I guess I'll have to blow a kiss for New Year's / And hope she'll know the lips from where it came // Somewhere down inside, I know she's waiting / Until she feels the timing is just right / But I can't help but think we should be celebrating / With kisses under mistletoe and playful snowball fights / On Christmas Eve, I held a candle burning / I took a breath and whispered out the flame / And cupped my hands around it for a moment / The fire burned no longer, but the warmth had still remained // I won't be home for Christmas this year / But I'll be wishing for her anyway / I guess I'll have to blow a kiss for New Year's / And hope she'll know the lips from where it came // All I have to send her are these kisses / I hope they make it there by Christmas day / If, by chance, she smiles in my direction / They'll have a light to help them find their way / They'll have a light to help them find their way
