As I watched my clock on the wall
Tick the seconds slowly by
I knew Christmas would soon be here
And then I would start to cry
For it was not that long ago
I knew a different place
Of love and fun and laughter
But now is not the case
There were gifts and trees and lights
And a loved one by my side
Now there is just me
As all my hopes have died
I gave whatever I could
And did all that they would say
Yet even if I didn't
I'd still be alone today
But all is not yet lost
As I do have one more friend
And that is my sweet memories
They'll be with me til the end
They tell me things might change
That good times will be here!
But then my clock strikes twelve....
So I guess they'll come next year.......
