This Year

Oh, ooh, oh, uh
Ooh, oh yea-yeah, oh, ooh, ah

1. You'll be my New Year's Day, my Valentine
Now I ain't gonna stop until I make you mine
You'll be my April Fool, my Mardi Gras
The music on my tongue when I sing fa la la.

You'll be my flower child, in the month of May
My sunny summer lover on my holiday
You'll be my autumn leaves, my Halloween
The winter snow and everything that's in between
This year I'm gonna take you home
This year I don't wanna be alone.

[Chorus:]
This year, this Christmas together
And the minutes they pass, and the hours they fly
This year, this Christmas forever
And the weeks and the months go rushing by
This year we've learned how to live
How to forget, and how to forgive without fear, oh
Just love this Christmas, this year.

2. Oh, you'll be my spring ahead, my fall behind
The shimmy on my hips oh when I, bump and grind
You'll be my Santa Boy, all dressed in red
And ride that little reindeer all through my head
Oh, ooh, here we go, oh yeah
This year I'm gonna take you home
This year I don't wanna be alone.

[Bridge:]
This year I'll pray for you, uh
And I thank God for you
Just wanna be with you
This year that's all I wanna do.

Day by day, I'm gonna get my way
This year I'll pray for you
The seasons turn, I've got a lot to learn
And I thank God for you
Now this year I'm gonna, gonna, gonna take you home
Cause I don't wanna be alone.
