Every Year, Every Christmas

[Verse 1]

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 here

So here I am every year, every Christmas

Yeah

[Verse 2]

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

[Bridge]

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 fine

I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonight

[Verse 3]

So much emotion, it's driving me mad, yeah, hey

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

[Bridge]

Mere words can't explain 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 wanna leave

Has my heart made a fool out of me?

[Verse 4]

And my friends gather 'round me with holiday cheer, yeah

They say to forget you, to let you go 'cause you're not here

Well, I can't keep explaining what they'll never understand

And why I'm here every year, every Christmas

[Outro]

I return every year, every Christmas

I come here every year, every Christmas
