Maybe This Christmas.

I’ve been running all my life,
I’ve been trying to get it right,
Sentimentally, the thing I do well,
But it’s Christmastime again,
And I’m missing all my friends,
A million miles away, a toast to their health.
Now it’s a shot out in the dark,
I’m just wishing on a star,
And I wish I knew just what to do.
Lord, I think I need your light,
On this cold and silent night,
I’m just hanging on, it’s all that I can do.
And all the snow
Falling down on the city, and the good souls below.
It ain’t the same,
When it comes down and turns into rain,
‘Cause it’s Christmastime,
I can’t be alone again.
You’ve been running through my mind,
And no matter how I try,
When the bells of Old St. Pat’s start to ring,
And it’s so hard for me to hear,
You’re alone this time of year,
And the bitterness that that cold must bring.
And when you’re sitting in the dark,
And it’s falling all apart,
I’ll be lighting up a candle for you.
I know it’s sad to be alone,
I wish you joy and peace and hope,
Wish you all the love that your heart can hold.
And all the snow,
Falling down on the city, and the good souls below.
It ain’t the same,
When it comes down and turns into rain,
‘Cause it’s Christmastime,
Shouldn’t be alone again.
Maybe this Christmas,
Don’t have to be alone again.
