lyrics

I wanna see you this Christmas Eve
I won't sleep a wink until you're here with me
Look at all the presents sitting under the tree
They're waiting for us baby this Christmas Eve
I wanna see you this Christmas Eve
Every now and then it slips away from me
I'm underneath the mistletoe just waiting to see
If you're coming over this Christmas Eve

Salutations that I'll send from the start
Another Christmas with a broken heart
It's cold but there's no snow
There's no silver, there's no gold
I took a job as Santa down at the mall
And then I chaperoned the Christmas ball
The Kid was happy, Ma was happy
But I just felt so lost

I wanna see you this Christmas Eve
I won't sleep a wink until you're here with me
Look at all the presents sitting under the tree
They're waiting for us baby this Christmas Eve

A Playstation and some model trains
My little brother's got some shit for brains
He's made a list so long
It can almost touch the floor
And now the snow is falling down on the ground
I trimmed the tree and then I heard the sound
Of carolers so drunk, so happy
It just lit the thaw

I wanna see you this Christmas Eve
I won't sleep a wink until you're here with me
Look at all the presents sitting under the tree
Just waiting for us baby this Christmas Eve
I wanna see you this Christmas Eve
Every now and then it slips away from me
I wanna put the angel up on top of the tree
I'm waiting for you baby this Christmas Eve

I always hoped that I would see you again
At my door just like a long, lost friend
Brushing off the snow
Some booze under your coat
We'd sit and talk about the Christmas past
And how a year can come and go so fast
Damn if I get torn up
About all the friends we've lost

I need to see you this Christmas Eve
I won't sleep a wink until you're here with me
Look at all the presents sitting under the tree
They're waiting for us baby this Christmas Eve
I need to see you this Christmas Eve
Every now and then it slips away from me
I wanna put the angel up on top of the tree
Been waiting for you baby this Christmas Eve
