Written by Babyface, David Foster, Toni Braxton
This time next year I`ll be home lighting candles
Tryin` to just get on with my life...
And this time next year hope I`m through
with the hurtin`
Tryin` to get you out of my mind...
So, don`t try to play like you`re not that concerned
And don`t try to say that your heart doesn`t burn
So, tell me
How can you say that our love isn`t special?
How can you say
That our love wasn`t true?
And how can you say
You can take it or leave it
When I`m missing you and you know
You`ll be missing me, too?
This time next year I`ll be out buying presents
And something will remind me of you...
And this time next year I`ll be out having dinner
And run into some friends we both knew...
Oh, don`t try to play like you won`t be concerned
And don`t try to say that your heart doesn`t yearn
Oh, tell me
Chorus
Come early Christmas morning
I`ll be having my coffee and I`ll think of you
And the things we used to do
And you know it will be breaking my heart...
`Cause the holidays are special
it will always play a part
In my heart...
Chorus
