I’ll be away this Christmas
And I’m sorry for that
But daddy needs to pay the bills
To keep you warm in bed
To make sure you have a roof over your head
And though it’s not right
It’s what I must do

I won’t see you this Christmas
But I give my love to you

I’ll be away this Christmas
And I wished on a star
That I could be home for Christmas
To see you and your mom
But it just wasn’t in the stars, no it didn’t come true
And though it’s not right
It’s what I have to do

Well, I won’t see you this Christmas
And I’ll be missing you

And no, don’t call me Mr. Scrooge
‘Cause I’m trying to win, but I can’t help but lose
I can think of where I’d rather be
Rocking with you around the Christmas tree
Without you, it isn't the right thing to do
But it's something I just need to do

No, Ebenezer is not my name
But my ghosts, they tell me that I am to blame
They tell me the truth
That this Christmas Carol just isn’t the same
Without you, it isn’t the right thing for you
Oh, I’ll somehow make it home to you

I’ll be away this Christmas
I told you before
That daddy had to pay the bills 
To keep you warm
But I’ve done some much needed thinking, my precious newborn
And I know it’s not right
So I’m coming home to you

And I'm coming home this Christmas
Because my job is you

I'll Be Away this Christmas

I’ll Be Away This Christmas
I’ll be away this Christmas
And I’m sorry for that
But daddy needs to pay the bills
To keep you warm in bed
To make sure you have a roof over your head
And though it’s not right
It’s what I must do

I won’t see you this Christmas
But I give my love to you

I’ll be away this Christmas
And I wished on a star
That I could be home for Christmas
To see you and your mom
But it just wasn’t in the stars, no it didn’t come true
And though it’s not right
It’s what I have to do

Well, I won’t see you this Christmas
And I’ll be missing you

And no, don’t call me Mr. Scrooge
‘Cause I’m trying to win, but I can’t help but lose
I can think of where I’d rather be
Rocking with you around the Christmas tree
Without you, it isn't the right thing to do
But it's something I just need to do

No, Ebenezer is not my name
But my ghosts, they tell me that I am to blame
They tell me the truth
That this Christmas Carol just isn’t the same
Without you, it isn’t the right thing for you
Oh, I’ll somehow make it home to you

I’ll be away this Christmas
I told you before
That daddy had to pay the bills 
To keep you warm
But I’ve done some much needed thinking, my precious newborn
And I know it’s not right
So I’m coming home to you

And I'm coming home this Christmas
Because my job is you
