Well, here it is Christmas.
[G]
My, how the time flies.
Why, [C] it was just a few short months
ago when we decided to say [F] our goodbyes.
So, [C] here it is Christmas.
And I hope things are
well with you.
[F] Ah, I've been to a few parties, a couple of plays.
[C] Well, it sort of gave me
something to do.
I'd [G] go to parties, have a drink, and always [C] I'd want to leave.
But,
folks don't throw too many parties on Christmas Eve.
[D] Cause [G] it's mostly, I guess, for families,
[C] not for the drinking crowd.
It's for children's laughter and excitement, and not for something
lush and loud.
So, here it is Christmas.
[B]
I know you're [C] lying by the fire, [Em] listening to [G] Christmas
music and watching the flames go higher.
[C] And me, I'm here in my apartment, listening to the [F] trucks
go by.
A train, an occasional [C] taxi, having a martini drive, and thinking about our [F] 27 happy
Christmases together.
Then, [C] our love just somehow fell apart.
Ah, we'll [G] make it all right, I'm sure
this way, but, you know, tonight it [C] sort of tugs at the heart.
And I sure hope the kids come over,
or at least I hope they'll [G] phone.
I [C] sure hate to think on Christmas Eve [Em] that you're having to spend
it all [F] alone.
And I'd feel a [G] whole lot better about it if [Em] you had someone there who cared.
[E]
Cause it's
tough, just [A] you and the memories and all the [G] Christmases that we shared.
But, I got [D] things to occupy [C] my
mind.
[Am] Like trying to wrap this [Dm] stupid gift, and wrestling with this flat [G] martini, hoping it will
somehow give me a [C] lift.
But, here it is Christmas, and I'm not gonna shed a single tear.
[Em] So, [B] Merry
Christmas baby.
Merry [Bb] Christmas and a [Em] Happy New Year.
