Lyrics: Merry Christmas to Me

(Alan Jackson)

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.

--- Instrumental ---

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 to 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...
