Hang the holly on the door just the way we did before   But don't hang the mistletoe this year   When you decorate the tree hang a special star for me   But don't hang the mistletoe this year      Christmas eve you'll hang your stocking by the chimmny with care   And if the Lord above be willing, next year I'll be there   And may Christmas fill your heart but because we'll be apart   But don't hang the mistletoe this year      Christmas eve you'll hang your stocking by the chimmny with care   And if the Lord above be willing, next year I'll be there   And may Christmas fill your heart but because we'll be apart   But don't hang the mistletoe this year
