Maybe This Christmas

I've been running all my life
I've been trying to get it right
Sentimentally, the thing I do well
But it's Christmastime again
And I'm missing all my friends
A million miles away, a toast to their health

Now it's a shot out in the dark
I'm just wishing on a star
And I wish I knew just what to do
Lord, I think I need your light
On this cold and silent night
I'm just hanging on, it's all that I can do

And all the snow
Falling down on the city, and the good souls below
It ain't the same
When it comes down and turns into rain
'Cause it's Christmastime
I can't be alone again

You've been running through my mind
And no matter how I try
When the bells of Old St. Pat's start to ring
And it's so hard for me to hear
You're alone this time of year
And the bitterness that that cold must bring

And when you're sitting in the dark
And it's falling all apart
I'll be lighting up a candle for you
I know it's sad to be alone
I wish you joy and peace and hope
Wish you all the love that your heart can hold

And all the snow
Falling down on the city, and the good souls below
It ain't the same
When it comes down and turns into rain
'Cause it's Christmastime
Shouldn't be alone again

Maybe this Christmas
Don't have to be alone again
