She said she always loved this time of year 
And how used to celebrate when he was here 
Then he went away - nothing more to say 
He's not coming home 
She's gonna be alone for the holidays 

She wrote down every word in her diary 
She reads it now and then 
To remind her of how it used to be 
He's not here today - there's nothing more to say 
She's gonna be alone for the holidays 

She cries all night on Christmas Eve 
She just gets by on Christmas day 
She's lost her will but kept her faith 
But he's not coming home 
She's gonna be alone for the holidays 

She cries all night on New Year's Eve 
She just gets by on New Year's Day 
She's lost her will but kept her faith 
He's never coming home 
Alone for the holidays
