"Last Christmas I gave you my heart"
a heart so thirsty for your aqua nest,
a nest I thought was just for me
and waited for a nod so many days.
"Used to think that life was sweet"
as sweet as your beautiful face,
a face that soon would smile at me
but in your nest was somebody else.
"If he brings you happiness"
"no, I'll never get the blues"
I am yet to take back my heart
still it is entwined with yours.
"No New Years day to celebrate"
for celebration means you to me,
if you someday give back my heart
along with it,give your heart free.

================================
I put up the tree for all to see
although you won't be here with me
The bubble lights are shining bright
I leave them on throughout the night
I decorate with Gold and Red
your favorite colors I think you said
I even placed a dove or two
upon the mantel here for you
I thought we'd share our Christmas dear
instead your there and I am here
The Christmas musics playing low
the fireplace is all a glow
I took and hung some mistletoe
although your kiss I'll never know
I know its over I know were through
I guess I can't help missing you
This Christmas eve when the tree is lit
please think of me a little bit
Although we may be miles apart
I'll celebrate within my heart...
my saddest christmas ever
has'nt came to be
but in a very few days
it will happen to me
the presents i thought of
will never be bought
the gifts and decorations
have all come to naught
the love i wished to happen
won't happen this christmas day
because the one i loved the most
has sadly passed away
so i have yet to greive
on that wonderful occasion
no one will love me
with such dedication
my heart has need to give
that special kind of love
but with no one to give it to
my heart it seems stopped up
i can only imagin
the fun we would have shared
exchanging our silly presents
showing how much we cared
going out shopping
will be a lonely task
there won't be anyone there
for me to share romance
but still i'll spend this christmas
with her on my mind
i wish she were here
we would have had a good time
so this will surely be
my saddest christmas ever
will my saddness ever leave
my heart keeps saying never
Once upon a Christmas
We were together
A meeting
A pleasure
Once upon a Christmas
We parted from each other
A parting
A pain
Once upon a Christmas
Two hands held each other
Close to the fire
A pleasure
Once upon a Christmas
Two souls torn from each other
Beyond the cool seas
A pain
Once upon a Christmas
Went for long walks together
In the garden of ecstasy
A pleasure
Once upon a Christmas
Lonely nights away from each other
In a cold house, in a cold bed
A pain
Once upon a Christmas
We’ll again be together
The pleasure and pain
We’ll share with each other.
