Here it is, Christmas Eve night
A part of me lit only by pink light
Coming from the tree
I got my See’s
It’s not my first choice to have right beside me
Not waiting for Santa Claus per se
He couldn’t give me what I want anyway
And there’s nothing on tv
I’m playing an old CD
It’s not my first choice to have right beside me
There’s some dolls in a chair
A penguin and a reindeer and a Coca-Cola Bear
They can’t move but one can play tunes one after another
They’re inanimate but at least they have each other
Which is more than I can say
You’re not here this Christmas Day
I doubt it would help to pray
It’d stay exactly this way
(Ahh-ah-Ahhh), Mmmmhhmmm, (Ahhh-ah-Ahhhh)
Here it is, 1:00 now
Eyelids getting farther from eyebrows
I am a bit sleepy
Wrapped up in my blue blankie
It’s not my first choice to have right beside me
No sugar plums dancing in my dreams
Visions of you though are a theme
I wake from the fantasy
White walls are all I can see
It’s not my first choice to have right beside me
There’s some cards on the door
None from anyone I was hoping for
In fact, there’s one that’s from an insurance company
I don’t think there’s anyone there who loves me
What more can I say
You’re not here this Christmas Day
I doubt it would help to pray
It’d stay exactly this way
