lyrics

The days are dark, and getting darker
Now it's snowing too, can you believe?
I've never felt any farther
Away from you on Christmas Eve

In the winter, you are there and I am here
Why can't Christmas be in summer this year?

Then we could hang mistletoe from our earlobes
And build snowmen out of sand
We'd drink iced eggnog in the sunshine
While our bare skin gets tan
Why can't
Why can't
Why can't Christmas be in Summertime?

The Christmas lights and decorations
Hanging up above the Christmas tree
But I don't feel like celebrations
Without the ones I love here with me

In the winter, you are there and I am here
Why can't Christmas be in summer this year?

We could hang Christmas lights on Midsummer's night
With our stockings in our hands
We'd sing Christmas carols by the campfire
With our bare toes in the sand
Why can't
Why can't
Why can't Christmas be in Summertime?
