[Verse 1: Jordan Knight]
Did you ever really start to cry
Over something you just wrote?
Well, I’m writing you, my dear Saint Nick
It’s the saddest little note

[Verse 2: Jordan Knight]
Is it fair, come this Christmas Eve
That I should be alone
When he knows how much I’m missing her?
Would you kindly bring her home?

[Pre-Chorus: Jordan Knight & Joey McIntyre]
This boy’s letter to Santa Claus
It’s gonna tear him up
When he reads how much I’m missing her
It’s gonna tear him up
I’m sure if all his reindeers
Could arrange room on his sleigh
Then I’d receive a big bright package
And she’d be mine today

[Chorus]
I’ll be missing you, come Christmas
Wishing hard, my dear
Missing you come christmas
Wishing you were here

[Verse 3: Jordan Knight]
Did you ever really start to cry
Over something that was said?
Well, I’m writing you, dear Santa
It would be the saddest thing you ever read

[Verse 4: Jordan Knight]
Is it fair, come this Christmas time
That I should be without you?
You know how much I need you, girl
Won’t you kindly help me through?

[Pre-Chorus: Jordan Knight & Joey McIntyre]
This boy’s letter to Santa Claus
It’s gonna tear him up
When he reads how much I’m missing her
It’s gonna tear him up
I’m sure he’ll write a special note
To remind him Christmas Eve
That he has to mend a broken heart
That believes in make believe

[Chorus]
I’ll be missing you, come Christmas
Wishing hard, my dear
Missing you come Christmas
Wishing you were here

[Bridge: Donnie Wahlberg & Jordan Knight]
Right above his V.I.P
We’ll be ranking number one
No sadder request will he receive
He’ll know it has to be done
Oh, Santa, if you’re my friend
Please take heed, it’s not pretend

[Pre-Chorus: Jordan Knight & Joey McIntyre]
This boy’s letter to Santa Claus
It’s gonna tear him up
When he reads how much I’m missing her
It’s gonna tear him up
I’m sure if all his reindeers could arrange room on his sleigh
Then I’d receive a big bright package
And she’d be mine today
Oh, Santa

[Chorus]
I’ll be missing you, come Christmas
Wishing hard, my dear
Missing you come Christmas
Wishing you were here

[Outro]
Missing you come Christmas
Now I’ll be missing you
Missing you come Christmas
I’ll be wishing you were here
Missing you come Christmas
You, and only you
Missing you come Christmas
Wishing you were here
I’ll be missing you come Christmas
Wishing hard, my dear
Missing you come Christmas
