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
