I’ve been listening to Christmas songs The merry, the bright, but the feeling’s wrong For a cup of cheer is hard to drink When my heart stops and I start to think About the times we shared, those times of old Keeping warm in a world so cold With Christmas lights and glowing tree, In a peaceful world of just you and me. I’m hearing lyrics full of jolly times My mind races to when you were mine And underneath the Christmas tree were presents for both you and me But now above the fireplace My stocking hangs next to empty space And the ghost of Christmas past is present Causing nightmares cold, unpleasant Oh Christmas songs Are doing me wrong Just like you did before too long Back then I thought that we would be A merry little Christmas story Winter wonderland, jingle bells, No feliz in this Navidad hell You’ve gone and taken all the jolly Left me with the prickly holly Oh Christmas songs Are doing me wrong Just like you did before too long For every Christmas tune I hear Reminds me of brighter years Winter wonderland, jingle bells, No feliz in this Navidad hell You’ve gone and taken all the joy Left me on the island of misfit toys I’m still listening to Christmas songs The joy to the world has got it wrong For the world is mean and all Grinch-like When thoughts of you like midnight strike And by the fireside I snuggle up With a hot cocoa in one lone cup As Christmas lights and glowing tree Are all I have to comfort me Oh Christmas songs Have done me wrong Just like you did now that you’re gone Back then I thought that we were fine Like a bright, sparkly Christmas pine Winter wonderland, jingle bells, No feliz in this Navidad hell You’ve gone and taken everything ‘Cept all the songs I can’t help but sing
