Christmas Comes But Once A Year

(album: Everybody Knows It's Christmas - 2022)

Christmas comes but once a year
But you're not here with me
The holidays bring heartaches now
Painful memories
You and I were so in love
Or so it seem to me
Christmas comes but once a year
But that's too much for me

Last Christmas Eve you left me
With just two words you were free
So long, so long
Sent back that ring that I bought you
That was your present to me

I didn't send out Christmas cards
Or decorate the tree
Nothing seems to matter now
Since you're not here with me
I'll spend my holiday at home
With thoughts of used to be
Christmas comes but once a year
And that's too much for me

Last Christmas Eve you left me
With just two words you were free
So long, so long
Sent back that ring that I bought you
That was your present to me

There is no wreath on my front door
No garland on my tree
But it could still be Christmas dear
If you'd come back to me
I kept your ring, I kept our vows
I'm waiting here to see
Christmas comes but once a year
When you come back to me

Darling, Christmas comes but once a year
When you come back to me
