This Year

[Intro]

Oh, ooh, oh, uh

Ooh, oh yeah-yeah, oh, ooh, ah

[Verse 1]

You'll be my New Year's Day, my Valentine

Now I ain't gon' to stop until I make you mine

You'll be my April Fool, my Mardi Gras

The music on my tongue when I sing fa la la

You'll be my flower child, in the month of May

My sunny summer lover on my holiday

You'll be my autumn leaves, my Halloween

The winter snow and everything that's in between

[Pre-Chorus]

This year, I'm gonna take you home

This year, I don't want to be alone

[Chorus]

This year, this Christmas together

And the minutes they pass, and the hours they fly

This year, this Christmas forever

And the weeks and the months go rushing by

This year we've learned how to live

How to forget, and how to forgive without fear, oh

Just love this Christmas, this year

[Verse 2]

Oh, you'll be my spring ahead, my fall behind

The shimmy on my hips, oh, when I bump and grind

You'll be my Santa Boy, all dressed in red

And ride that little reindeer all through my head

Oh, ooh, here we go, oh yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

This year I'm gonna take you home

This year, I don't want to be alone

[Chorus]

This year, this Christmas together

And the minutes they pass, and the hours they fly

This year, this Christmas forever

And the weeks and the months go rushing by

This year we have learned how to live

How to forget, and how to forgive without fear, oh

Just love this Christmas, this year

[Bridge]

This year, I'll pray for you, uh

And I thank God for you

Just wanna be with you

This year, that's all I want to do

Day by day, I'm gonna get my way

This year, I'll pray for you

The seasons turn, I've got a lot to learn

And I thank God for you

[Pre-Chorus]

Now this year, I'm gonna, gonna, gonna take you home

'Cause I don't want to be alone

[Chorus]

This year, this Christmas together

And the minutes they pass, and the hours they fly

This year, this Christmas forever

And the weeks and the months go rushing by

Now this year, we have learned how to live

How to forget, and how to forgive without fear, oh

Just love, ooh, ooh, oh-oh-oh

This year, we have learned how to live

How to forget, and how to forgive without fear, oh

Just love this Christmas, this year
