The 11th song of our song per month project of 2015. A Nobodaddy take on the festive season.
lyrics
Next year I’ll do it different,
Next year I’ll do it right,
Next year I’ll find something better to do
Than to stay up drinking all night.
Next year I won’t have this feeling
Like I’m waiting for life to arrive,
And look round at all of the others
Who seem to be having the time of their life.
Christmas, christmas, christmas you’re breaking my heart,
Christmas, christmas, christmas you’re breaking my heart.
Next year I won’t see that Grandma
Bedding down on cathedral porch stone,
Next year I won’t see the Dads buying presents
For kids they can’t see on their own.
Next year perhaps we’ll remember
It’s not about savings and loans,
And it’s less than a wonderful life if again
You are facing this Christmas alone
Christmas, christmas, christmas you’re breaking my heart,
Christmas, christmas, christmas you’re breaking my heart.
Each new year seem just like the old one
And my hopes for the next do not last.
Though the man in the mirror has slightly more lines
And slightly more drink in his ever emptier glass.
Maybe next year I’ll have a lover,
I’ll wake wrapped in her arms in her bed,
Maybe next year I won’t have to spend it alone
With only this pictures of you in my head.
Christmas, christmas, christmas you’re breaking my heart,
Christmas, christmas, christmas you’re breaking my heart.
