Today I took some paper from the closet And wrapped the wedding ring you left behind And I addressed it to the man who vowed to love you And on the little card I wrote these words inside Merry Christmas to me Just one gift beneath my tree    For the fool who let you leave Merry Christmas to me Then I sat down in my chair and thought about you About the many reasons why you’re gone And I opened up the present that I gave me And realized how much it hurts to be alone Merry Christmas to me Just one gift beneath my tree     For the fool who let you leave Merry Christmas to me     I’m the fool who let you leave Merry Christmas to me
