Snowy nights and Christmas lights,
|
Icy windowpanes,
|
Make me wish that we could be
|
Together again.
|
And the windy winter avenues
|
Just don't seem the same,
|
And the Christmas carols sound like blues,
|
But the choir is not to blame.
|
|
But it doesn't have to be that way.
|
What we had should never have ended.
|
I'll be dropping by today.
|
We could easily get it together tonight.
|
It's only right.
|
|
Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus,
|
Tinseled afternoons,
|
And the sidewalk bands play their songs
|
Slightly out of tune.
|
Down the windy winter avenues
|
There walks a lonely man,
|
And if I told you who he is,
|
Well I think you'd understand.
|
|
But it doesn't have to be that way.
|
What we had should never have ended.
|
I'll be dropping by today.
|
We could easily get it together tonight.
|
It's only right.
|
|
No, it doesn't have to be that way.
|
What we had should never have ended.
|
I'll be dropping by today.
|
We could easily get it together tonight.
|
It's only right.
