Its christmas eve, people
But someones got to go
Its christmas eve, people
But someones got to go
I never thought hed have the nerve
But that just shows you what I know
He had a sweet and lonely voice
How I wish that he had stayed
He had a sweet and lonely voice
How I wish that he had stayed
But the dealer dealt the cards
And the ace has done been played
He used to talk about forever
Forever and a day
But when you get down to it
Things just dont work out that way
Merry christmas johnny
Though youre leaving now
The anticipations better
Than the real thing anyhow
