The tinsel's tangled up again
And the tree's not standing straight
I've switched on all the lights
But they won't illuminate
The angel at the top
Looks like she's going to fall
And I swear when I was growing up
The tree didn't look that small
Gone is the magic of Christmas
When did it all disappear
The true meaning seems to have missed us
And the Christmas gets worse every year
The decorations do their best
But the house still feels the same
Guess a picture of you still a picture of you
Though it's got tinsel on its frame
And I don't want to go out to the city
'Cause I'm scared there's no escape
And I can't even wrap up this present without
losing the end of the sellotape
Oh won't you come back oh St Nicholas,
Rudolf your red nosed reindeer?
I do hope they haven't dismissed us
Now the Christmas gets worse every year
I don't understand why I'm taking it out on Christmas
When it's been like this for most of the year
Everything that I have tried has failed
And now my hopes are turning to fear
And so I wrote to Santa
I said â please won't you arrange
For the bad luck that I've been having
Oh can't you find some way for it to change?
The one thing that I want this Christmas
one dream that I hope comes true
oh what I would give
to share Christmas with you
We never seem to get it together
I always felt you were slipping away
So tonight I'm getting desperate,
Gonna get down on my knees and pray
I say â Dear God please let her meet me outside the cathedral
I'll look her straight in the eye
I'll tell her that I've always loved her
Since the heavens set stars in the sky
And seeing her there, with a ribbon in her hair
As the snow begins to fall
She'll lean in and she'll kiss me
And it'll be the best Christmas
of all
