words & music by Bob Malone
From The Christmas Collection (2018)
Here I am again
Christmas time closing in
It’s just me and the tree
The lights so lovely
But no one else will see
And I’m desperately trying
Desperately trying
Desperately trying
To not be sad on Christmas
Here we are once more
This is so much harder than it ever was before
I’ll get through the morning at most
Going through the motions
Surrounded by ghosts
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I’ve spent all my money and more
I don’t feel any better than I did before
I’ve lost my faith and my will
Lord, send me a sign when the night is still
I hope you will…
Desperate cheer fills the room
Hopefully unnoticed, I’ll be leaving soon
Guess I’ll try again next year
Maybe then season won’t fill me with fear
CHORUS
