Summertime has come and gone
I had you here by my side
The autumn wind was blowing strong
I grabbed your arm, held you tight

bridge
Now the air is getting cold at night
And you say you have to leave
On the weather report there is
No Christmas in white
But it's you and the snow that I need

chorus
Why does it rain on Christmas?
When I'm wishing for some snow
Why can't you stay, if you'll miss me?
Do you really have to go?

I know when Santa Claus is coming
He will give me something
But all I need is you and the snow

Why does it rain on Christmas?
I don't know
