Every Year, Every Christmas

i don't know how love could do this to me

i've waited and waited for someone i never see

but i'm so sentimental and i'm so hopeful you'll be here

so here i am every year every christmas

yeah

i've wished for you in my heart and in my head

and i got my answer that first moment that we met

and oh yes i believed you as you told me as you said

you'd be here every year every christmas

there must be a lesson for me to learn

if you don't trust in love you'll get nothing in return

why should i be lonely don't tell me it's fine

i have my pride but i'd rather be with you tonight

ah

so much emotion it's driving me mad yeah

but i'll take my chances with these feelings that i have

and i'll come back to this same corner where we met

and i'll be here every year every christmas

mere words can't explain the pain and the fear

cause oh i wonder yes i wonder are you gonna leave me standing here

today's almost over but i don't want to leave

has my heart made a fool out of me

ah

my friends gather round me with holiday cheer yeah

they say to forget you to let you go cause you're not here

well i can't keep explaining what they'll never understand

and why i'm here every year every christmas

i return every year every christmas

i come here every year every christmas
