LAST CHRISTMAS (Queen & Charley Version)

*[Verse 1]* Last Christmas at Gottsunda, the snow fell on the black fence, Queen came in with the booze, laughed at my old blanket. Charley stood at the gate, frozen but still happy, said "open the door, friend, the winter is so cold". *[Chorus]* Last Christmas, you gave me laughter, but this year, we're all together. Queen sings in the kitchen, Charley lights the fire, Szilvia cooks, Erik laughs - we're home, we're left. *[Verse 2]* Queen says "do you remember last Christmas, everything was a mess then?" I nod, but now the patio is covered in snow. Charley takes the guitar, plays something old, nice, we all sing along, although his voice cracks in the middle of winter. ***_ And I think, this is Christmas anyway, not the packages, not the glitter, not the expensive things. It's Queen falling asleep on the couch, Charley snoring lightly, and that we have each other, even though the world outside is cold and hard.[Bridge] *[Chorus - grand finale]* Last Christmas was lonely, but this year there are more of us, Queen, Charley, Erik, Eray, Valentin - all here. Light the candles on the patio, let the darkness end, Last Christmas is gone, now it's Christmas again, my friend. _*** Queen... Charley... Merry Christmas to you.[Outro]
