It only comes once a year My heart gets cold as ice Others' are filled with cheer They get the happiness and glow While I'm stuck in California where it doesn't snow It always brings me back To the way we met It's Christmas time, again I'm an optimist until it comes to this It's Christmas time, again It's Christmas time, again If I saw you at the corner store My heart would sink below and melt right on the floor I'd say, "I hope you're doing well" That will be such a lie and I know you could tell It always brings me back To the way we met It's Christmas time, again I'm an optimist until it comes to this It's Christmas time again It's Christmas time again Christmas time again One hundred parties I said no to 'Cause the only one I'd want is one that has you What is the point? What is the reason? To get all dressed up and make believe the feeling And you were mine, I was yours Intertwined by the door Mistletoe above our heads Not a question of what was next Got in your car, no time to waste Ghosted everyone, a great escape You turn the corner, I'm turning red As you looked at me and said "I've wanted this for so long You're my dream girl, you're the one" I felt like I was watching this from above Like some old movie of two kids in love And I always miss you this time of year How could you blame me? I'm only human Do you ever think of how I'm doing? Do you ever think that we screwed up? Do you ever think we could make up? Will you meet me in the light of day? Will you kiss me when we're old and gray? Well I guess 'tis the season Now only eleven months until I get this feeling
