Last night, I spent another lonely Christmas
Darlin', darlin', you should've been there
'Cuz, all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care forRemember the time we swam naked
In your father's pool?
Boy, he was upset that night
But boy, was that ever coolRemember that night we played pokeno for money
And you robbed me blind?
Remember how you used to scream so loud
'Cuz, you, you hated that number 9?Hey, I saw your sister skatin' on the lake
This afternoon
Good heaven, how she's grown
She swoons the boy skaters, she's so tallBut of all your father's children
All your father's children, baby
You know, you are the finest of them all
You are brighter than the northern starAnd I, last night, I spent another lonely Christmas
Darlin', darlin', you, you should've been there
You see, of all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care for, yeahMy mummy used to say, always trust your lover
But now, I guess that only applies to her
'Cuz, baby, you promised me
Baby, you promised me, you'd never leave
Then you died on the 25th day of December, oh, babyLast night, oh, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darlin', baby, you, you should've been there, oh, oh
'Cuz all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care for, yeahYour father said it was pneumonia
Your mother said it was stress
But the doctor said you were dead
And I, I say it's senselessEvery Christmas night for 7 years now
I drink banana daiquiris till I'm blind
As long as I can hear you smilin', babyYou won't hear my tears
Another lonely Christmas is mine
Yeah, mine, yeah
Another lonely Christmas is mineLast night, yeah, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darlin', darlin', you should've been there, yeah
'Cuz all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one one care for
