Christmas is coming, the snowflakes are falling it’s the most wonderful time of year So hang up, your stockings, put the tinsel on the tree because Christmas is coming, my dear It’s the only time of year reindeer fly you can see them on their sleigh ride cross the sky gather all your family round, or go out and paint the town it’s the only time of year the whole wide world turns upside down So baby, light a fire, and toast the night away because Christmas is coming, our way — instrumental — It’s the only time of year reindeer fly you can see them on their sleigh ride cross the sky gather all your friends round, or go out and paint the town it’s the only time of year the whole wide world turns upside down So baby, light a fire, and toast the night away because Christmas is coming, Christmas is coming Christmas is coming, our way

Santa Baby 03:21
Santa Baby, just slip a sable under the tree, for me. Been an awful good girl, Santa baby, And hurry down the chimney tonight. Santa honey, a 54 convertible too, light blue. I'll wait up for you dear, Santa baby, And hurry down the chimney tonight. Think of all the fun I've missed, Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed, Next year I could be ah so good, If you'll check off my Christmas list, Santa honey, I wanna yacht, and really that's not a lot, Been an angel all year, Santa baby, And hurry down the chimney tonight.

Empty Chair 05:05
An extra start at the table, an empty chair in the corner and although the fire is alight somehow it’s colder this time of year I feel him with me I see the twinkle in his eye hidden in the fairy lights this time of year is when I miss him most of all he couldn’t keep up the fight we’ll still pour the wine he liked we’ll still wear our Christmas crowns he used to help me put the start up on the tree now that star is looking down sometimes I muddle past and present and I’ll look over to see you there the only present I want this year is to see you in your empty chair — instrumental — This time of year is when we all should be together singing carols with the band celebrating hand in hand this time of year is when meant for giving but this year all they’ve done is take I didn’t ask for heart to break your chair is empty in the corner and although my eyes are full of tears I wish you merry Christmas wherever you are and wish for you to be home, next year

Baby now that it’s Christmas, do you think that we could all just get along I know with all these people, well maybe, you don’t feel like you belong but I can promise you our love will get us through Baby, I know it’s stressful when we’ve got all these hungry mouths to feed and I couldn’t be more grateful for the greatest gift is staring back at me and with you by my side there is no need to hide so come on my dear it’s Christmas and I need you here because it’s Christmas i know it’s hard to see, but their our family, so baby if we stay strong Christmas is so much better when we get along Everyone’s a little tipsy and a lot louder than they were before children screaming running around, faces bright but toys all over the floor oh i know it’s a mess, but babe let me confess Christmas for me is family, and i know a full house isn’t quite your scene and they can’t help but love and that’s why you mean the whole wide world to me and even when we shout my darling have no doubt because for me, this is what Christmas is about so come on my dear it’s Christmas now I need you hear because it’s Christmas i know it’s hard to see, but their our family, so baby if we stay strong Christmas is so much better when we get along it only comes once a year, so bring all your good cheer I promise it won’t take long Christmas is so much better Christmas is so much better honey, Christmas is so much better when we get along
