Christmas Again
Can’t you hear the bells are a-ringin’?
Yet the carolers sound far away
Can’t you see the lights are a-blinkin’?
But no one to see them today
Will it be the same as every year
Buying trinkets for no one at all?
Can’t you hear the kids are a-singin’?
But the melody seems to fall
I start it all again, my friend, but it always ends the same
And it’s Christmas again
Loneliness remains, my friend, with no one left to blame
And it’s Christmas again
New Year’s Eve and hopes are awoken
For springtime and a summer’s breeze
Autumn’s leaves and winter to follow
And I’ll wait for next year’s Christmas trees
I start it all again, my friend, but it always ends the same
And it’s Christmas again
Loneliness remains, my friend, with no one left to blame
And it’s Christmas again
