[Chorus]
What a merry Christmas this could be
If you would just come back to me
And say that you've forgiven me
What a merry Christmas this could be

[Verse 1]
It was just last Christmas that we quarreled and you walked out
I knew that I was wrong but you'd come back, I had no doubt
Now a year has rolled around, and it's Christmas once again
What I'd give if you'd come walking in

[Chorus]
What a merry Christmas this could be
If you would just come back to me
And say that you've forgiven me
What a merry Christmas this could be
