"It's Christmas Time (Again)" lyrics

It only comes once a year
My heart gets cold as ice
Others' are filled with cheer
They get the happiness and glow
While I'm stuck in California where it doesn't snow

It always brings me back
To the way we met
It's Christmas time, again
I'm an optimist until it comes to this
It's Christmas time, again
It's Christmas time, again

If I saw you at the corner store
My heart would sink below and melt right on the floor
I'd say, "I hope you're doing well"
That will be such a lie and I know you could tell

It always brings me back
To the way we met
It's Christmas time, again
I'm an optimist until it comes to this
It's Christmas time again
It's Christmas time again
Christmas time again

One hundred parties I said no to
'Cause the only one I'd want is one that has you
What is the point? What is the reason?
To get all dressed up and make believe the feeling

And you were mine, I was yours
Intertwined by the door
Mistletoe above our heads
Not a question of what was next
Got in your car, no time to waste
Ghosted everyone, a great escape
You turn the corner, I'm turning red
As you looked at me and said
"I've wanted this for so long
You're my dream girl, you're the one"
I felt like I was watching this from above
Like some old movie of two kids in love

And I always miss you this time of year
How could you blame me? I'm only human
Do you ever think of how I'm doing?
Do you ever think that we screwed up?
Do you ever think we could make up?
Will you meet me in the light of day?
Will you kiss me when we're old and gray?

Well I guess 'tis the season
Now only eleven months until I get this feeling
