Another Lonely Christmas

Last night, I spent another lonely Christmas Darling, you should've been there Cause all the ones I dream about You are the one that makes my love shout You are the only one I care for Remember that night we swam naked in your father's pool? Boy, he was upset that night but boy, was that ever cool Remember the night we played pokeno for money And you robbed me blind Remember how you used to scream so loud 'Cause you hated the number nine I saw your sister skating on the lake this afternoon Good Heaven, how she's grown She swooned the boy skaters, she is so tall But of all your father's children All your father's children, baby You know, you are the finest of them all You are brighter than the northern star Last night, I spent another lonely Christmas Darling, you should've been there All the ones I dream about You are the one that makes my love shout You are the only one I care for My mama used to say, "Always trust your lover." Now I guess that only applies to her Cause baby you promised You promised me you'd never leave Then you died on the 25th day of December Last night, oh, I spent another lonely Christmas Darling, you should've been there All the ones I dream about You are the one that makes my love shout You are the only one I care for Your father said it was pneumonia Your mother said it was stress But the doctor said you were dead and I I say it's senseless Every Christmas night for seven years now I drink banana daiquiris till I'm blind As long as I can hear you smilin' baby You won't hear my tears, another lonely Christmas is mine Last night, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas You should've been there All the ones I dream about You are the one that makes my love shout You are the only one I care for
