This time of year when it gets cold I can't remember how it felt To know you were the one to hold Just to know you made sense This time of year Now I'm old I know you were the one I told "Life should never be this fun" All the signs said you're the one So this is Christmas How pretty the lights are How lonely the nights are The loveliest winter Sweet but, so bitter I won't have you I won't have you No solace in my solitude Now there's nothing here for you Not a gift and not a card Not a kind word from my heart There's nothing in sharing No hope in me singing "Silent night, holy night" When the nights are so silent The nights are so silent Now you've stopped trying The wish list I'll stop writing The wish won't come true I won't have you
