What A Long Year It Was

You’re everything I need
Everything I want
The moon is shining madly on your face
What a waste, what a waste
When you don’t notice a shining trace

Another year has gone and I’m where I belong
Though I never would have thought you’d still be here
Still be here, still be here
And it’s filling my heart with cheer

‘Cause now it’s Christmas time
And oh what a long year it was
Now it’s Christmas time
And everything is calm
Everything is alright

Children everywhere all look up and stare
And wonder if they’ll ever get to fly
Get to fly, get to fly
And I still wonder if I could too

And now that I have you here by my side
Along for the ride
I’ll never doubt my heart again
I guarantee, guarantee, guarantee
So let’s hear it for me and you

‘Cause now it’s Christmas time
And oh what a long year it was
Now it’s Christmas time
And everything is calm
Everything is alright

I tend to focus on all my bad dreams
And let them linger on
Somehow you’re always there when the day has dawned
So let this feeling carry on

‘Cause now it’s Christmas time
And oh what a long year it was
Now it’s Christmas time
And everything is calm
Everything is alright
