(Hank Cochran/Harlan Howard)



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



It was just last Christmas

That we quarreled and you walked out

I knew I was wrong

But you'd come back

I had no doubt

Now a year has rolled around

It's Christmas once again

And what I'd give if you'd come walkin' in



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



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



What a merry Christmas this could be
