And I'll be their Santa Claus clown
It's a time for girls and boys
Just look at me, happy as can be
I haven't heard a word from you
And wondering what you're doing
And wish that you could see them too
And the tears are so hard to hide
Summer days and winter days
And any day when you're not here
And little Joe's so grown up
He helped Mama trim the tree
And looking at him now, it's funny,
You're standing right here by me
Now he's so much like a man,
and trying so hard to understand
I got to turn my face away
Try to get myself together
And keep from calling out your name
It's such a lonely time of year
and summer days and winter days,
and any day when you're not here.
Yes, it's such a lonely time
and summer days and winter days
and rainy days and sunny days
any day when you're not here
summer days and winter days,
and rainy days and sunny days,
any day when you're not here.
