It's cold outside like I've never known
I hold you knowing I'll have to let you go
And this night is ours, quiet and clear
We dance but soon the only proof we were even here
Will be footprints in the snow
12 months to the day
I'll be home again
I wish that I could stay
But I'll see you next Christmas
I'll see you next year
We both know there's nowhere else
I'd rather be than here
Do you remember, we kissed beneath the mistletoe
And you take a little part of me with you when you go
And these broken days and every sleepless night
But I still see you walk away when all that's left behind
Are footprints in the snow
Covered over now
You'll find a way, I know
To get back home to us somehow
And I'll see you next Christmas
I'll see you next year
And we both know there's nowhere else
We'd rather be than here
But tonight I know that my wish won't come true
I'm dancing in the snow
But nothing feels the same without you
Nothing feels the same
So I'll think of you this Christmas
I'll remember you every year
I'll be looking out my window
Wishing I still had you here
I'll think of you this Christmas
I'll hold on to you every year
'Cause everything reminds me
I wish I still had you here
I still had you here, oh, oh
I wish I still had you here
Each and every Christmas
Each and every Christmas
