| Coming home the longer route
|
| I’m kicking off my heavy shoes
|
| And sitting by the fire
|
| Reminded of the time gone by
|
| When you and I would laugh and fight
|
| And try to put the world to rights
|
| But end up on the floor
|
| No wiser than we were before
|
| Oh, sweet heart of mine
|
| Left there frozen in time
|
| I wish that I, I could break the ice
|
| But it’s another lonely Christmas ahead
|
| And I’ll be wishing I could spend it with you instead
|
| 'Cause every present, every song in the air
|
| Only echos every winter we used to share
|
| Yeah, baby, I’m still holding out
|
| For what we had and what is now
|
| Another lonely Christmas ahead
|
| In photographs, your face is pale
|
| Just like a winter fairy tale
|
| The princess set in stone
|
| Lies forever all alone
|
| And I wish fairy tales were true
|
| So I could come and rescue you
|
| But heaven only knows
|
| It’s just the way the story goes
|
| Left there frozen in time
|
| I wish that I, I could break the ice
|
| But it’s another lonely Christmas ahead
|
| And I’ll be wishing I could spend it with you instead
|
| 'Cause every present, every song in the air
|
| Only echos every Christmas we used to share
|
| Yeah, baby, I’m still holding out
|
| For what we had and what is now
|
| Another lonely Christmas ahead
|
| So it’s another lonely Christmas ahead
|
| And I’ll be wishing I could spend it with you instead
|
| 'Cause every present, every song in the air
|
| Only echos every Christmas we used to share
|
| Yeah, baby, I’m still holding out
|
| For what we had and what is now
|
| Another lonely Christmas ahead
|
| Another lonely Christmas ahead
|
| Another lonely Christmas ahead |
