lyrics
"Come Home December" by Lloyd Smiley
I hear the sound of Jingle Bells
I'm hangin' out with all my pals
And doin' all those things we like to do
But you're not with me here today
And Christmas never felt this way
I'm left out in the cold here without you
[CHORUS]:
So come on home December
I need you here with me
Come on home
You're the star upon my tree
Come on home December
I'm on my bended knee
Come on home
Ho-ho-home to me
You packed your bags and headed out
To where the Sun does not go down
And never looked behind
You know it's true
The nights are long and gettin' cold
In Ottawa, so all alone
I'm missin' all that stuff we used to do
Oh, when you said 'goodbye' I cried & cried
And almost died a million times
Yes, in the name of Love I was a fool
So if you want to save the day
Return to me, come straight away
Restore my heart
And make my dreams come true
[Chorus]
Well now, mistletoe is hangin'
In the doorway and the hall
I'm sittin' in my kitchen, wishin'
That the phone would call
You said it would be better,
Since I'll probably forget
But these Christmas tears are in my beer
And I'm full of regret, singin'...
[Chorus]
