This Christmas Eve it’s like 60 degrees
Who could pick a worse warm weather day
‘Cause this ain’t Miami the last thing I need
Is the heat melting my snowy dreams away
So I flick on the evergreen tree full of lights
That my family picked up just last week
And it strikes me that just ‘cause this winter ain’t white
Doesn’t mean that next year it won’t be
Oh please I need at least a flurry
Next time around will be different
This time next year we’ll be up to our knees
And we’ll laugh till we cry and we can’t remember why
Or even what last year was like
The first couple glasses of whiskey have passed
And all I can think about is you
‘Cause you’re up where it’s cold with your family I hope
That you see some more snowfall than I do
Holidays just aren’t the same nowadays
That we’re spending them three states apart
But it strikes me that time’s on our side
And there’s always next year and that’s not too far
Yeah there’s always next year and that’s not too far
Next time around will be different
This time next year we’ll be side by side
And we’ll laugh till we cry and we can’t remember why
Or even what last year was like
Who knows what the future holds
But Christmastime will come again
And our love will never end
(Chorus)
Merry Christmas dear
Here’s to Christmas
Cheers
