| I don’t know how love could do this to me
|
| I’ve waited and waited for someone I’ll never see
|
| But I’m so sentimental and I’m so hopeful you’ll be there
|
| Here I am every year, every Christmas
|
| I’ve wished for you in my heart and in my head
|
| I got my answer that first moment we met
|
| Oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said
|
| You’d be here every year, every Christmas
|
| There must be a lesson for me to learn
|
| If you don’t trust in love, you’ll get nothing in return
|
| Why should I be lonely? |
| Don’t tell me it’s right
|
| Oh, I have my pride but I’d rather be with you tonight
|
| So much emotion, ooh, it’s driving me mad
|
| But I’ll take my chances with these feelings that I have
|
| And I’ll come back to this same corner, to this corner where we met
|
| I’ll be here every year, every Christmas
|
| Mere words can’t explain the pain and the fear
|
| 'Cause oh, I wonder, yes, yes, I wonder
|
| Are you gonna leave me standing here?
|
| Today’s almost over but I don’t want to leave
|
| Has my heart, tell me, has my heart made a fool out of me?
|
| My friends gather 'round me with holiday cheer
|
| They say, to forget you, to let you go 'cause you’re not here
|
| Well, I can’t keep explaining
|
| What they’ll never, oh, they’ll never understand
|
| 'Cause I’m gonna be here
|
| They don’t know why I’m here every year
|
| Oh, they don’t understand why I’m here
|
| Oh, I’m waiting, oh yes, I waited
|
| Oh, every year
|
| Oh, let me make it clear
|
| I’ll be here every year, every Christmas
|
| Yes, I will, yes, I will, oh, I will
|
| Every Christmas, Christmas, Christmas
|
| Oh, I’ll be waiting for you
|
| Merry Christmas everyone
|
| Mr. Luther Vandross, we love you |
