| Its christmas eve, people
|
| But someones got to go Its christmas eve, people
|
| But someones got to go
|
| I never thought hed have the nerve
|
| But that just shows you what I know
|
| He had a sweet and lonely voice
|
| How I wish that he had stayed
|
| He had a sweet and lonely voice
|
| How I wish that he had stayed
|
| But the dealer dealt the cards
|
| And the ace has done been played
|
| He used to talk about forever
|
| Forever and a day
|
| But when you get down to it Things just dont work out that way
|
| Merry christmas johnny
|
| Though youre leaving now
|
| The anticipations better
|
| Than the real thing anyhow |
