"A Good Year" lyrics

The holidays are on us
You see it all around
The trees are coming up
All over streets across the town

This year has been a strange one
I've lost and I have found
This Christmas is the first one
I'll be spending on my own

I'm on the road to somewhere
I know I have to try
I didn't decorate
And as I kissed the kids goodbye
I thought about the memories
And shed a couple tears
But sadness doesn't suit me
There is more for me out there

And so for this Christmas
I'm gonna find myself again
I'm gonna raise a glass to me
And to the person I will be
Next year will be a good year
I swear
This Christmas
I'm gonna find myself anew
I'm gonna write my history
Become the person I will be
Next year will be a good year

He told me that he loved me
And I believe that's true
But people change and I see now
He loved the neighbour too
And that was last December
And I tried to make it right
But murder shouldn't be
What's on your mind on Christmas night

This year has been a strange one
I packed my bags in May
And though it nearly killed me
I am thankful in way
And the holidays are on us
I've not put up the tree
But I thank baby Jesus for the fact that I am me

And so for this Christmas
I'm gonna find myself again
I'm gonna raise a glass to me
And to the person I will be
Next year will be a good year
I swear
This Christmas
I'm gonna find myself anew
I'm gonna write my history
Become the person I will be
Next year will be a good year

Ah

I cut my hair and had a fling
I sold the ring
And bought a happy holiday

Ah

So "Merry Christmas" and I'll be outta here, I swear

This Christmas
I'm gonna find myself again
I'm gonna raise a glass to me
And to the person I will be
Next year will be a good year
I swear
This Christmas
I'm gonna find myself anew
I'm gonna write my history
Become the person I will be
Next year will be a good year

This Christmas
I'm gonna find myself a new
