Tom Chaplin Lyrics
"Another Lonely Christmas"

Coming home the longer route
I'm kicking off my heavy shoes
And sitting by the fire
Reminded of the time gone by
When you and I would laugh and fight
And try to put the world to rights
But end up on the floor
No wiser than we were before

Oh, sweet heart of mine
Left there frozen in time
I wish that I, I could break the ice

But it's another lonely Christmas ahead
And I'll be wishing I could spend it with you instead
'Coz every present, every song in the air
Only echoes every winter we used to share
Yeah, baby, I'm still holding out
For what we had and what is now
Another lonely Christmas ahead

In photographs, your face is pale
Just like a winter fairy tale
The princess set in stone
Lies forever all alone
And I wish fairy tales were true
So I could come and rescue you
But heaven only knows
It's just the way the story goes

Left there frozen in time
I wish that I, I could break the ice

But it's another lonely Christmas ahead
And I'll be wishing I could spend it with you instead
'Coz every present, every song in the air
Only echoes every Christmas we used to share
Yeah, baby, I'm still holding out
For what we had and what is now
Another lonely Christmas ahead

So it's another lonely Christmas ahead
And I'll be wishing I could spend it with you instead
'Coz every present, every song in the air
Only echoes every Christmas we used to share
Yeah, baby, I'm still holding out
For what we had and what is now
Another lonely Christmas ahead
Another lonely Christmas ahead
Another lonely Christmas ahead
