I don´t know how love could do this to me
I´ve waited and waited for someone I never see
But I´m so sentimental, and I´m so hopeful you´ll be there
So, here I am every year, every Christmas

I´ve wished for you in my heart and in my head
And I got my answer that first moment that we met
And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said
You´d be here every year, every Christmas

There must be a lesson for me to learn
If you don´t trust in love, you´ll get nothing in return
Why should I be lonely, don´t tell me it´s right
I have my pride, but I´d rather be with you tonight

So much emotion, it´s driving me mad
But I´ll take my chances with these feelings that I have
And I´ll come back to this same corner where we met

And I´ll be here every year, every Christmas

Mere words can´t explain the pain and the fear
´Cause oh, I wonder, yes, I wonder are you gonna leave me standing here
Today´s almost over, but I don´t want to leave
Has my heart made a fool out of me?

My friends gather round me with holiday cheer
They say to forget you, to let you go ´cause you´re not here
Well, I can´t keep explaining what they´ll never understand
And why I´m here every year, every Christmas
I return every year, every Christmas
I come here every year, every Christmas
