Christmas Wrapping
Bah Hum.. but that's too strong!Cause it is my favorite holidayBut all this years been a busy blurDon't think i have the energyTo add to my already mad rushJust cause 'tis the seasonThe perfect gift for me would beCompletions and connections leftFrom last year, ski shopping, counter most interestingHad his number but never the time(Most of '81 past along those lines)So deck those halls and trim those treesRaise up cups of Christmas cheerI just need to catch my breathChristmas by myself this year
Calendar picture, frozen landscapeChill this room for twenty-four daysEvergreens, sparkling snow, get this winter over withFlash back, to spring time, sun again (why?)Would have been good to go for lunchCouldn't agree when we were both freeWe tried, we said we'd keep in touchDidn't of course till summer timeOut to the beach to his boat could have joined himNo this time, it was me, sunburn in the third degreeNow the calendars just one pageOf course I am excitedTonights the night but I've set my mindNot to do too much about it(Christmas is over)Oh, no you don't
[x2]Merry Christmas, Merry ChristmasBut I think I'll miss this one this yearMerry Christmas, Merry ChristmasBut I think I'll miss this one this year
Hardly dashing through the snowCause I bundled up too tightLast minute have-to-do'sA few cards a few callsCause it's r-s-v-pNo thanks, no party lightsIt's Christmas Eve, gonna relaxTurned down all of my invitesLast fall I had a night to myselfSame guy called, halloween partyWaited all night for him to showThis time his car wouldn't go, (I'm sorry)Forget it, it's cold, it's getting lateTrudge on home to celebrateIn a quiet way, unwindDoing Christmas right this time
A&P has provided me with the world's smallest turkeyAll ready in the oven, nice and hotOh damn, guess what I forgot?So on with the boots back out in the snowTo the only all night groceryWhen what to my wondering eyes should appear?In the line is that guyI've been chasing all year(I'm spending this one alone) he said(Need a break this year's been crazy)I said me too, but why are you..?You mean you forgot cranberries too?Then suddenly we laughed and laughedCaught on to what was happeningThat Christmas magic's brought this tale to a very happy ending
Merry Christmas, honey(Merry Christmas baby)
