Salvation Army Santa clause rings his bell when the penny's tossed and I don't know why but I feel lost

Two lovers shopping for a Christmas tree kiss each other when they cross the street and I'm feeling like the joke's on me

Oooooh this sneaks up on you like cold weather
Oooooh whether or not you're ready it comes
Yeahhh I don't want to be lonely on the most wonderful time of year
Ohhhhh but Christmas time is here

I woke up to find across the street a snowman laying in the manger scene and Charlie brown playing on TV

So while people were taking their winters nap I grabbed my coat and a stocking cap, went outside to think about what we have

Oooooh this sneaks up on you like cold weather
Oooooh whether or not you're ready it comes
Yeahhh I don't want to be lonely on the most wonderful time of year
Ohhhhh but Christmas time is here

Walked outside started thinking about what we had

Oh that bell I rang
The bottle of wine we got back together
I toast them both
Decembers you remind me
Now I'm stuck
Yeah I've been by myself
The view from the top
Been thinking about the room that I painted
The shelves
I built with my own hands
After how long you waited
Took me back again
In that choir we heard
In that catholic church
All the best and the worst
It heals and it hurts
To remember
It heals and it hurts to remember
Ohh but I want to
Ohh just like that time
The ice
Covered up the road and the driveway
And you held my hand
By that hospital bed
The things that you told me
I'm hanging on to them
I'm hanging on to them
