[00:45.78]Bah!Humbug! No...That's too strong.
[00:47.61]Cause it's my favourite holiday.
[00:49.64]But all this year's been busy blur.Don't think I have the energy.
[00:53.66]To add to my already mad rush. Just because it is the season.
[00:57.88]The perfect gift for me would be completion and connections.
[01:01.84]Left from last year, world tour aeroplanes and babies.
[01:06.22]Had his number but never the time.
[01:08.45]Most of '98 passed along those lines.
[01:10.42]So deck those halls, trim those trees.
[01:12.39]Raise up cups of christmas cheer.  Ijust need to catch my breath.

[01:34.32]Flashback to spring time, saw him again
[01:37.05]Would've been good to go for lunch

[01:47.40]Could I join him.  No. This time it was me.
[01:49.49]Sunburn in the third degree.  Now the calendar's just one page.
[01:53.41]And, of course , I am excited.
[01:55.55]Tonight"s the night, but I've set my mind.  Not to do too much about it.
[01:59.73]Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!  But I think I'll miss this one this year.

[02:38.97]Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!  But I think I'll miss this one this year.
[02:43.21]Hardly dashing through the snow.  Cos I bundled up too tight.
[02:47.18]Last minute have-to-dos.  A few cards.  A few calls.
[02:50.70]Because it's R.S.V.P.  No thanks, no party lights.
[02:55.31]It's christmas eve, gonna relax.  Turned down all of my invites.
[02:59.62]Last fall I had a night to myself.  Same guy called.  Halloween party.
[03:03.76]Waited all night for him to show.  This time his card wouldn't go.
[03:07.85]Forget it , it's cold it's getting late.  Trudge on home to celebrate.
[03:11.85]In a quiet way , unwind, doing christmas right this time.
[03:16.05]Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!  But I think I'll miss this one this year.
[03:20.26]Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!  But I think I'll miss this one this year.
[03:24.58]Tesco has provided me, with the world's smallest turkey.
[03:28.40]All in the oven, nice and hot.  Oh damn, guess what I forgot?
[03:32.43]So on with the boots, back out in the snow to the only all night garage.
[03:36.49]When what to my wandering eyes should appear.
[03:39.00]In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year.
[03:40.90]Spending this one alone, he said.  Need a break, this years been crazy.
[03:44.73]I said, me to, but why are you?  You mean you forgot the papers too?
[03:48.80]Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
[03:51.10]Caught on to what was happening.
[03:53.11]Christmas magic's brought this tale to a very happy ending.
[03:57.23]Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!  But I think I'll miss this one this year.
