Another Lonely Christmas

[Chorus]

Last night, I spent another lonely Christmas

Darling, darling, you should've been there

'Cause all the ones I dream about

You are the one that makes my love shout

You see, you are the only one I care for

[Verse 1]

Remember the time we swam naked in your father's pool?

Boy, he was upset that night

But, boy, was that ever cool

Remember that night we played Po-Ke-No for money

And you robbed me blind?

Remember how you used to scream so loud

'Cause you–you hated the number nine?

[Verse 2]

Hey, I saw your sister skating on the lake this afternoon

Good Heaven, how she's grown

She swooned the boy skaters, she is so tall

But of all your father's children

All your father's children, baby

You know, you are the finest of them all

You are brighter than the northern star

[Chorus]

Last night, I spent another lonely Christmas

Darling, darling, you, you should've been there

You see, of all the ones I dream about

You are the one that makes my love shout

You see, you are the only one I care for

[Verse 3]

My mama used to say, "Always trust your lover"

Now I guess that only applies to her

‘Cause, baby, you promised me

Baby, you promised me you'd never leave

Then you died on the 25th day of December, oh baby

[Chorus]

Last night, oh, oh, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas

Darling, baby, you, you should've been there

'Cause all the ones I dream about

You are the one that makes my love shout

You see, you are the only one I care for, yeah

[Verse 4]

Your father said it was pneumonia

Your mother said it was stress

But the doctor said you were dead, and I

I say it’s senseless

Every Christmas night for seven years now

I drink banana daiquiris 'til I'm blind

As long as I can hear you smilin', baby

You won't hear my tears, another lonely Christmas is mine

Yeah, mine, yeah

Another lonely Christmas is mine

[Chorus]

Last night, yeah, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas

Darling, darling, you should've been there

'Cause all the ones I dream about

You are the one that makes my love shout

You see, you are the only one I care for

Another lonely
