If I could feel a memory instead of turning back time I know that the past is all that's left of you and I I'd relive when we first met, when you caught my eye The rush of us and all that was right now would be so nice But I know when Christmas comes around And the snow falls like a fresh start on the ground You aren't the one I'm missing, he left long ago But Christmas Eve, my gift to me is dancing with your ghost So Merry Christmas, to the one I used to know If everything was like a dream, you'd be by my side And who I thought you were was true, not made up in my mind You'd be here in my arms where I thought you'd be tonight Instead of me, left wondering, was everything a lie? But I know when Christmas comes around And the snow falls like a fresh start on the ground You aren't the one I'm missing, he left long ago But Christmas Eve, my gift to me is dancing with your ghost So Merry Christmas, to the one I used to know Once a year, I let my heart go back to you and me A secret gift I give myself On Christmas Eve If I could feel a memory instead of turn back time I know that the past is all that's left of you and I Still I know when Christmas comes around And the snow falls like a fresh start on the ground You aren't the one I'm missing, no, he left long ago But Christmas Eve, my gift to me is dancing with your ghost So Merry Christmas, to the one I used to know So Merry Christmas, to the one I used to know
