Lying on golden sand
In the blue of a backdrop sky
Far, so far from my beautiful homeland
That December turns white
I'm here in this paradise
Alone, all alone with no friends
You're not a real Christmas
I see my Christmases of old again
The house beneath its white coat
But here the little children
So they can set in front
That night their shoes
You're not a real Christmas
I've been told that Santa Claus
And yet up there toward the sky
Tonight above me
It's the same one far away
