about

A Christmas song! - about loneliness at Christmas time.

lyrics

When the night descends too soon after dawn,
snow falls and the green leaves are all long gone,
songbirds disappear, exiled like the sun,
earnest voices sing, Christmas time has come.

I’m feeling hollow here in Toronto since you’ve been gone.
And all the carols sing but I don’t want a thing.
I want nothing but you right here with me.

And in the sky the sky above above our heads,
the air is clear the clear is cold the cold is in my bed.

I feel the wind blow right through my window. It’s so cold this year.
All the bells will ring but I don’t want a thing.
I want nothing but you right here with me.

Sparkles in the snow everywhere you go on the ground.
I want to know all that you know and I want to feel how it feels
with you around.

And when the nighttime comes it won’t feel so long.
And when it’s cold outside I’ll climb into your arms.
Oh baby,

I’m feeling hollow here in Toronto since you’ve been gone.
And all the carols sing but I don’t want a thing.
I want nothing but you right here with me.
I want nothing but you right here with me.
I want nothing but you right here with me.
