- M. Carey - W. Afanasieff - 

The fire is burning 
The room's all aglow 
Outside the December wind blows 
Away in the distance the carolers sing in the snow 
Everybody's laughing 
The world is celebrating 
And everyone's so happy 
Except for me tonight 

Because I miss you 
Most at Christmas time 
And I can't get you 
Get you off my mind 
Every other season comes along 
And I'm all right 
But then I miss you, most at Christmas time 

I gaze out the window 
This cold winter's night 
At all of the twinkling lights 
Alone in the darkness 
Remembering when you were mine 
Everybody's smiling 
The whole world is rejoicing 
And everyone's embracing 
Except for you and I 

Baby I miss you 
Most at Christmas time 
And I can't get you 
Get you off my mind 
Every other season comes along 
And I'm all right 
But then I miss you, most at Christmas time 

In the springtime those memories start to fade 
With the April rain 
Through the summer days 
Till autumn's leaves are gone 
I get by without you 
Till the snow begins to fall 

And then I miss you 
Most at Christmas time 
And I can't get you 
Get you off my mind 
Every other season comes along 
And I'm all right... 
But then I miss you, most at Christmas time
