The Pianoman at Christmas

Sitting down there at the old folks home crooning "White Christmas"

I got three hundred songs about Santa Claus under my fingers

Then down to the Crown hotel

Play 'till our heads hurt like hell

I'm asking myself

Who am I supposed to be?

But there's always somewhere to go

You're never gonna be lonely

Under the mistletoe

I thought I could be your man

But I'm just the pianoman

At Christmas

There's always a new place to go to, just no one to go with

But when I strike up with old Nat King Cole, I'm the hero till morning

While they rock around the tree

I can't shake I feel so empty

I'm asking myself

Who am I supposed to be?

But there's always somewhere to go

You're never gonna be lonely

Under the mistletoe

I thought I could be your man

But I'm just the pianoman

Well, I've always been a loner with some songs in my back pocket

And a million bar room uprights couldn't bring me any solace

Will someone come and tell me

Who am I supposed to be?

I'm just tryin' to find my way through

Don't care about a saviour, just wanna hold on to you

I thought I could be your man

But I'm just the pianoman

Yeah, there's always somewhere to go

You're never gonna be lonely

Under the mistletoe

I thought I could be your man

But I'm always the pianoman at Christmas
