Lyrics:
Another Winter's come
It's so hard this time of year
Heaven knows I pray
oh for better days
I'm two seconds from shedding tears
But you seem to know what to do
as I walk thru the door
so I don't feel pain anymore
Christmas means nothing at all
unless love hears when you call
You're always there
on Christmas day
Holding me tight
All through the Christmas night
I wonder if I'm doin' right
supporting my family
bein' the man I'm supposed to be
but nothing seems to be going right (oh no)
when you feel your world is pressing down on you tight
But you seem to know what to do
as I walk thru the door
so I don't feel pain anymore
Christmas means nothing at all
unless love hears when you call
Always be there
on Christmas day
Holding me tight
All through the Christmas night
Nothing like knowing there's someone there to support you
This time of year
and giving up will never cross your mind
on Christmas night
Piano Solo
