Every Year, Every Christmas (Album Version)

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 here
So  here I am every year  every Christmas
Yeah
I'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 Christmas
There 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 tonight
Ah
So 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 Christmas
Mere 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
Ah
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 Christmas
I return every year  every Christmas
I come here every year  every Christmas
