lyrics

Blue skies over clouds today. Green light to gray will fade. Sunlight on the window pane. I'm not there. I want to see you again. No, I'm not there. Just want to see you again. Think of all the different ways to say "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays." I've scripted lines but all I want to say is "I'm not with
you but I want to be. No, I'm not with you but I want to be." Where were you when the lights came up and no one was around? Where were you when I couldn't give thought to any other sound but your voice? I'll drive around all night. There's the church. There's the steeple. Open the door, there's all the people. Where were you when the lights came up? Where were you? Traveled through such treacherous terrain. Snow drifts and the frozen rain. All for a knot, and the knot is pain. I'm not there. I want to see you again. No, I'm not there. Just want to see you again.
