Another Lonely Christmas

Lyrics

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 little sister skating on the lake just this afternoon Good Heavens, how she's grown I'd bet all the boys are all scared of her you know she's so tall But of all your father's children All your father's children, baby You are the finest of them all Brighter than the northern star And I Last night, I spent another lonely, 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 My mama used to say, "You can always trust your lover." But now I guess it now only applies to her Cause baby you promised me, baby you promised me you'd never leave But then you died on the twenty-fifth day of December, oh baby Last night, I spent another lonely, 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, yeah You said it was pneumonia Your mom said it was strep Doctor said you were dead I say it's senseless Every Christmas night for seven years now I drink banana daiquiris until I'm blind As long as I can hear you smilin' baby You won't hear my tears, another lonely Christmas is mine Mine, yeah Another lonely Christmas is mine, yeah Last night, yeah, I spent another lonely, 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, yeah
