Well I know a ballerina
She lives on stage under the lights
And I don't see her very often

But when I do, you know I hold her tight

And even though we've never said it

We made a promise with our eyes
Not to talk about the future
Well I know, she's got no room for ties


But is it O.K. to say I miss you?
Is it O.K. to say I'm wishing you were here?

Is it O.K. to say I miss you?
Because I miss you, most this time of year


December's hardest on the dancers
They take the stage most every night
And from the parties to the flowers

To snowflake's dressed in crystal white

But is it O.K. to say I miss you?

Is it O.K. to say I'm wishing you were here?
Is it O.K. to say I miss you?
Because I miss you, most this time of year


Well I don't want to be distracting
And I could never hold you back

Just picture me here in your corner
Well I've got love patience and respect


But is it O.K. to say I miss you?
Is it O.K. to say I'm wishing you were here?
Is it O.K. to say I miss you?

Because I miss you, you know I miss you
And I miss you most this time of year
