‘Christmas (This Time Last Year)’

VERSE 1

On a cold winter’s night
You reached out for my hand
As the Christmas lights lit up the sky
I shivered in your arms
And when you kissed me I knew
I would never say goodbye

VERSE 2

But the lights all turned out
And I started to doubt
As I looked up at clouds of grey
We were finally done
Our time had now come
You were never here to stay

CHORUS

Little did I know
When I let you go
I’d be sitting here
Wishing it were this time last year
Cos last year
You were here
With me

VERSE 3

I wander the streets
That I walked through with you
And my heavy feet carry me home
Now you walk the same streets
With somebody new
While I’m spending Christmas alone

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

Little did I know
When I let you go
I’d be sitting here
Wishing it were this time last year
Cos last year
You were here
With me

Now I’m sitting here
Wishing it were this time last year
Cos last year
You were here
With me
