As I am getting older, years pass by quicker than before
Summer's been and gone, now winter is knocking down the door
As the weeks fly by and we're lining on the tree
I will shed a tear this Christmas for how it used to be

There's no fairy tales in New York
No one turning up on a sleigh
No stopping the cavalry this Christmas day

And the radio still plays all the classic songs
Without you by my side, I can't bear to sing along
Coz it's not the same, this Christmas day

There's a spare seat at the table
And it's where you used to be
All the tears that I have cried, cause I miss you inside
But it's worse at Christmas time

We must still have the lives
And we always shared the love
And we try to move on, to get on with our lives
But we still have the hurt

There's no fairy tales in New York
No one turning up on a sleigh
No stopping the cavalry this Christmas day

And the radio still plays all the classic songs
Without you by my side, I can't bear to sing along
Coz it's not the same, this Christmas day

There's no fairy tales in New York

No one turning up on a sleigh
No stopping the cavalry this Christmas day

And the radio still plays all the classic songs
Without you by my side, I can't bear to sing along
Coz it's not the same, this Christmas day

It's not the same, this Christmas day
It's not the same, this Christmas day
