Chestnuts roasting in a bed of coals
The sun has set upon us oh oh no
I can tell that it's in your chest
Something warm gone cold
At this time each year you want to sing
At this time each year you don't
The 'rents called from the Southern Tier
They say, "There're kids playing out in the snow
Won't you come and join the fun this year?
It's never quite the same with you gone"
Don't want to say what they want us to say
But we're all wrapped up in their role... of merry
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
The flakes have been falling
The days are getting dark
I search my soul for kindling
Anything to catch a spark
I know that he's coming
There's a Santa in a sleigh
He's got a load of presents to deliver on the big day
But, I'm scared to say it
"I think I'm getting coal
Or the threat of losing something precious
As I'm growing old"
Darlene, if you sing it
I know we'll sing it too
Darlene come on and sing it
We really really miss you!
Christmas is a rollercoaster
Three cheers for the up and over
Christmas is the best time of the year
But only if you are here
The Beach Boys protect us
All through the summer months
But with the cold air friends and freckles
Fade out with the sun
It's hard to motivate
At work when papers drown my desk
Quick calls to family seem to say
"I think I knew them better then"
Driving home
The taillights clutter up my view
When her song comes on the radio
I have to talk to you
I know what I'm feeling
I know you feel it too
I know what I'm saying
I really, really love you!
Christmas is a rollercoaster
Three cheers for the up and over
Christmas is the best time of the year
But only if you are here
