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 there

So, here I am

every year, every Christmas

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 right

I have my pride,

but I'd rather be with you tonight

So much emotion, it's driving me mad

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 e plain

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?

My friends gather round me

with holiday cheer

They say to forget you,

to let you go 'cause you're not here

Well, I can't keep e plaining

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
