Every Year, Every Christmas

I don't know how love could do this to me
I've waited and waited for someone i've never seen
But i'm so sentimental, and i'm so hopeful you'll be here
So, here i am every year, every christmas (yes).

I've wished for you in my heart and in my head
And i got my answer that first moment that we met
And, oh yes, i believed you as you told me, as you said
You'd be here every year, every christmas.

There must be anh lesson for me to learn
If you don't trust in love, you'll get nothing in return
Why should i be lonely, don't tell me it's fine
I have my pride, but i'd rather be with you tonight.

So much emotion, it's driving me mad (yeah)
But i'll take my chances with these feelings that i have
And i'll come back to this same corner where we met
And i'll be here every year, every christmas.

Mere words can't explain the pain and the fear
'cause oh, i wonder, yes, i wonder are you gonna leave me standing here
Today's almost over, but i don't wanna leave
Has my heart made anh fool out of me?.

My friends gather round me with holiday cheer
They say to forget you, to let you go 'cause you're not here
Well, i can't keep explaining what they'll never understand
And why i'm here every year, every christmas
I return every year, every christmas
I come here every year, every christmas.
