Who knows why we do the things we do? Like why I chose this life so far from you? This crew just got 10 days Christmas leave And I'll be there, darlin', I'll be there I'll be there Christmas eve Darlin', don't stop believing Don't give up hope, don't you lose faith in me Cause I'll be there Christmas eve I'm 18 hours out from Liverpool I've gon off-watch, I'm drunk as any fool Tomorrow I'll be sorry for my head And I know I'll tread lightly But in my heart I will be glad, like I said I'll be there Christmas eve Darlin', don't stop believing Don't give up hope, don't you lose faith in me Cause I'll be there Christmas eve I can see the Harbour's morning lights Oh, bless this ship that brought us through this night And bless this crew of hard and honest men In ten days time, I'm gonna sail with them again, but until then I'll be there Christmas eve Darlin', don't stop believing Don't give up hope, don't you lose faith in me Cause I'll be there Christmas eve Don't give up hope, don't you lose faith in me Cause I'll be there Darlin', I'll be there I'll be there Christmas eve
