Christmas Day

Christmas Day What did I want that Christmas Day? A package with a ribbon gay? Clothes to wear? Time to share? Only one thing did I ask of thee. Only one gift under my tree. That gift, my love, That gift was thee. What did I get that Christmas Day? A package with some ribbons gay. New clothes to wear, No time to share. The one thing my heart desired. The one thing that I required. That gift, my love, Thy love denied. Another Christmas came and went And with it my patience spent, The clothes I packed, The gifts I sacked. The New Year found me far away, Never to spend a Christmas Day With you, my love, No time to stay. This Christmas shall be like the rest. The gift that desired the best, Again denied. Again withheld. A husband’s love that went astray Will ne’er return on a Christmas Day. He is my love, Far, far away.
