Christmas Time

Salvation Army Santa clause rings his bell when the penny’s tossed and I don’t know why but I feel lost

Two lovers shopping for a Christmas tree kiss each other when they cross the street and I’m feeling like the joke’s on me

Oooooh this sneaks up on you like cold weather

Oooooh whether or not you’re ready it comes

Yeahhh I don’t want to be lonely on the most wonderful time of year

Ohhhhh but Christmas time is here

I woke up to find across the street a snowman laying in the manger scene and Charlie brown playing on TV

So while people were taking their winters nap I grabbed my coat and a stocking cap, went outside to think about what we have

Oooooh this sneaks up on you like cold weather

Oooooh whether or not you’re ready it comes

Yeahhh I don’t want to be lonely on the most wonderful time of year

Ohhhhh but Christmas time is here

Walked outside started thinking about what we had

Oh that bell I rang

the bottle of wine we got back together

I toast them both

Decembers you remind me

now I’m stuck

yeah I’ve been by myself

the view from the top

been thinking about the room that I painted

the shelves

I built with my own hands

after how long you waited

took me back again

in that choir we heard

in that catholic church

all the best and the worst

it heals and it hurts

to remember

it heals and it hurts to remember

ohh but I want to

ohh just like that time

the ice

covered up the road and the driveway

and you held my hand

by that hospital bed

the things that you told me

I’m hanging on to them

I’m hanging on to them
