Every Year, Every Christmas

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, yeahI'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 ChristmasThere 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 fine
I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonightSo much emotion, it's driving me mad, yeah
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 ChristmasMere 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, yeah
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 ChristmasI return every year, every Christmas
I come here every year, every Christmas
