** Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day

You gave it away

This year To save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

** repeat

Once bitten and twice shy

I keep my distance

But you still catch my eyes

Tell me baby do you recognize me

Well it's been a year

It doesn't surprise me

Happy Christmas

I wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying I love you I meant it

Now I know what a lool I've been

But if you kissed me now

I know you'd fool me again

** repeat twice

A crowded a room Friends with tired eyes

I'm hiding from you And your soul of ice

My God I thought

You were someone to rely on

Me I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man under cover but you tore me apart

Now I've found a real love

You 'll never fool me agian

** repeat twice

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man under cover but she tore him apart

Maybe next year I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special

I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special

Who will give me something in return

Hold my heart and watch it burn

All in the merry month of May
When green buds all were swelling
Sweet William on his death bed lay
For love of Barbara Allen
He sent his servant to the town
A place where she did dwell in
Said master dear, has sent me here
If your name be Barbara Allen
Then slowly, slowly she got up
And slowly she went to him
And all she said, when there she came
was, Young man I think you're dying
Don't you remember the other night
when we were in the tavern
You drank a toast to the ladies there
And slighted Barbara Allen
He turned his face unto the wall
He turned his back upon her
Adieu, adieu, to all my friends
And be kind, be kind, to Barbara Allen
As she was wandering by the fields
She heard the death bells melling
And every note, did seem to say
Hard hearted Barbara Allen


The more it tolled the more she grieved
She bursted out a crying
Oh pick me up and carry me home
I feel that I am dying
They buried Willy in the old churchyard
And Barbara in the new o'ne
And from Willy's grave, there grew a rose
Out of Barbara Allen's a briar
They grew and grew in the old churchyard
Till they could grow no higher
And there they tied in a true lover's knot
The red rose and the briar

Christmas night, another fight.
Tears we cried a flood.
Got all kinds of poison in, poison in my blood.
Took my feet, to Oxford street, trying to right a wrong.
'Just walk away', those windows say,
but I can't believe she's gone.

When you're still waiting for the snow to fall,
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all.

A group of cameras on there flicker,
Oh they flicker and they flow.
And I'm up here holding on to all those chandeliers of hope.
Like some drunkard Elvis singing, I go singing out of tune.
Singing how I always loved you darling, and I always will.

Oh when I'm still waiting for the snow to fall,
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all.
Still waiting for the snow to fall,
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all.

Those Christmas lights,
Light up the street,
Down where the sea and city meet.
May all your troubles soon be gone.
Oh Christmas lights, keep shining on.
Those Christmas lights, light up the street.
Maybe they'll bring her back to me.
Then all my troubles will be gone,
Oh Christmas lights, keep shining on.

Ohhhh

Oh Christmas lights, light up the street.
Light up the fireworks in me.
May all your troubles soon be gone.
Those Christmas lights, keep shining on.
