Christmas Wrapping

Bah!Humbug! No...That's too strong.

Cause it's my favourite holiday.

But all this year's been busy blur.Don't think I have the energy.

To add to my already mad rush. Just because it is the season.

The perfect gift for me would be completion and connections.

Left from last year, world tour aeroplanes and babies.

Had his number but never the time.

Most of '98 passed along those lines.

So deck those halls, trim those trees.

Raise up cups of christmas cheer. Ijust need to catch my breath.

Christmas with my mates this year.

Calendar picture, frozen landscape chilled this room for 24 days.

Evergreens, sparkling snow, get this winter over with!

Flashback to spring time, saw him again

Would've been good to go for lunch

Couldn't agree when we were both free

We tried , we said we'd keep in touch

Didn't of course, 'Til the summertime out to the beach to his boat.

Could I join him. No. This time it was me.

Sunburn in the third degree. Now the calendar's just one page.

And, of course , I am excited.

Tonight"s the night, but I've set my mind. Not to do too much about it.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Hardly dashing through the snow. Cos I bundled up too tight.

Last minute have-to-dos. A few cards. A few calls.

Because it's R.S.V.P. No thanks, no party lights.

It's christmas eve, gonna relax. Turned down all of my invites.

Last fall I had a night to myself. Same guy called. Halloween party.

Waited all night for him to show. This time his card wouldn't go.

Forget it , it's cold it's getting late. Trudge on home to celebrate.

In a quiet way , unwind, doing christmas right this time.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Tesco has provided me, with the world's smallest turkey.

All in the oven, nice and hot. Oh damn, guess what I forgot?

So on with the boots, back out in the snow to the only all night garage.

When what to my wandering eyes should appear.

In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year.

Spending this one alone, he said. Need a break, this years been crazy.

I said, me to, but why are you? You mean you forgot the papers too?

Then suddenly we laughed and laughed

Caught on to what was happening.

Christmas magic's brought this tale to a very happy ending.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year.
