Another Lonely Christmas

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

Remember the time we swam naked

In your father's pool?

Boy he was upset that night

But boy was that ever cool

Remember the night we played Pokeno for money

And you robbed me blind

Remember how you used to scream so loud

'Cause you hated that number nine

Hey, I saw your sister skating on the lake

This afternoon

Good Heaven how she's grown

She swoons the boy skaters she's 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 and I

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

Yeah

My momma 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

Last night 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

Your father said it was pneumonia

Your mother said it was strep

But the doctor said you were dead

And I, I say it's senseless

Every Christmas night for seven years now

I drink banana daquaris '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

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

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

'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
