I'll have sunshine for Christmas this year
Even though the thought of snow makes my tropical heart glow
Many friends I love are too far away
But know you're in my thoughts, here's sending Yuletide cheer and sunrays
I'm thinking of years gone by, as I sit just bemused by time
Doesn't seem like so long ago it was last Christmas
We knew things would not stay the same
What's the use of assigning blame
Still accepting these changes will take more of a wait
Let's count our blessings instead
I'll have monsoon rains for Christmas this year
Where we lack a fireplace but make do anyway
Let's indulge in all the usual cliches
Cuddling with the ones we love for as long as we can stay
I'm thinkin' of years gone by as I sit just bemused by time
Doesn't seem like so long ago it was last Christmas
This may not seem like a lot
Here's to those sentimental sorts
Toasting health, wealth, and happiness
Till we meet again
I'll have sunshine for Christmas this year
Even though the thought of snow makes my tropical heart glow
Many friends I love are too far away
But know you're in my thoughts, and it's there that you will stay
Regardless of the sun or rain
In this magical, holiday, phase
