Who were you to try to find me,
You know I wasn’t wanting to stay,
You hold me close,
And I fall away.

Mmmmmmm.

When you hold me close,
I lose my way.

And do you still think of me?
Did you know I was afraid?
When you held me close,
And I lost my way.

Ooooooh oooooooh.

See the lights upon the tree,
9 o’clock on Christmas Eve,
Can you hear the silence fall like snow this Christmas?
Though we ought to be back home,
And there’s places we should go,
Oh I just don’t want to be alone on Christmas Eve.

So don’t leave me,
Don’t say “you’ll see”,
Oh I just don’t want to be alone on Christmas Eve.

Hear the Christmas church bells ring,
Now it’s midnight on the green,
And a choir of drunkards walking home with Christmas cheer,
Now it’s late and time’s slipped by,
And we ought to say goodnight,
But I just don’t want to be alone on Christmas Eve.

So don’t leave me,
Don’t say “you’ll see”,
Oh I just don’t want to be alone on Christmas Eve,
So don’t drive home,
Don’t turn to leave,
Cos’ I just don’t want to be alone on Christmas Eve.

See the lights upon the tree,
9 o’clock on Christmas Eve,
Oh I just don’t want to be alone this Christmas.

Snow’s falling from the night sky,
Stars shining as the world goes by,
Christmas is all around.

Bells ringing through the cold air,
Joy and love are found everywhere,
In every sight and every sound.

The tree shines with gentle bright light,
Candles glow in the peaceful night,
A time to be, just you and me,
It’s all I see.

Through every laugh and every cheer,
We find the ones we hold so dear,
At Christmastime, our hearts align,
fills the world with love divine,
A gift, so bright.

Christmas is here,
Hold me close, hold me dear,
Christmas is all around,
Oh Oh, Christmas it’s all around,
Christmas it’s all around.

I don’t know what you had in mind
People lie all the time
You don’t have to dry your eyes
People cry all the time
I don’t know if you said goodbye
People die all the time
