Lyrics Merry Christmas (To The One I Used To Know) - Kelly Clarkson

If I could feel a memory instead of turning back time
I know that the past is all that's left of you and I
I'd relive when we first met, when you caught my eye
The rush of us and all that was right now would be so nice

But I know when Christmas comes around
And the snow falls like a fresh start on the ground
You aren't the one I'm missing, he left long ago
But Christmas Eve, my gift to me is dancing with your ghost
So Merry Christmas, to the one I used to know

If everything was like a dream, you'd be by my side
And who I thought you were was true, not made up in my mind
You'd be here in my arms where I thought you'd be tonight
Instead of me, left wondering, was everything a lie?

But I know when Christmas comes around
And the snow falls like a fresh start on the ground
You aren't the one I'm missing, he left long ago
But Christmas Eve, my gift to me is dancing with your ghost
So Merry Christmas, to the one I used to know

Once a year, I let my heart go back to you and me
A secret gift I give myself
On Christmas Eve

If I could feel a memory instead of turn back time
I know that the past is all that's left of you and I

Still I know when Christmas comes around
And the snow falls like a fresh start on the ground
You aren't the one I'm missing, no, he left long ago
But Christmas Eve, my gift to me is dancing with your ghost
So Merry Christmas, to the one I used to know

So Merry Christmas, to the one I used to know
