Christmas Alone
The snowflakes are starting to fall, along with my tears
I値l be spending Christmas time alone again this year
The emptiness I feel inside of me at this time of the season
Makes me wonder if I知 being punished for some unknown reason
Seeing the love that is shared by couples holding hands
From the high school kids to the old woman and old man
Then someone says to me, "Merry Christmas to you"
Right then my white Christmas has suddenly turned blue
I look at the one present wrapped under the Christmas tree
And that present wouldn稚 be there if I hadn稚 bought it for me
I have no one to share my love or even a gift to buy
And it seems every year a piece of me continues to die
I long to look at the lights decorating the many homes
There is not much joy in it when I知 in the car alone
Even with family I feel out of place, like I don稚 belong
I pray that time will pass quickly and then I値l be gone
Knowing the woman I love I can never have nor be mine
Like a fool, I値l love no other woman and still waste my time
Even though I値l be heading back to a
dark and lonely home
Where I値l spend the rest of Christmas Eve and day alone
I値l put on some Christmas music and stare at the decorated tree
Where I値l pitifully whisper to myself, "Merry Christmas to me."
