It Doesn't Have to Be That Way

Snowy nights and Christmas lights, icy windowpanes

Make me wish that we could be together again

And the windy winter avenues just don't seem the same

And the Christmas carols sound like blues, but the choir is not to blame

But it doesn't have to be that way

What we had should never have ended

I'll be dropping by today

'Cause we could easily get it together tonight

It's only right

Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus, tinseled afternoons

And the sidewalk bands play their songs slightly out of tune

On the windy winter avenues, there walks a lonely man

And if I told you who he is, well, I think you'd understand

But it doesn't have to be that way

What we had should never have ended

I'll be dropping by today

'Cause we could easily get it together tonight

It's only right

No, it doesn't have to be that way

What we had should never have ended

I'll be dropping by today

'Cause we could easily get it together tonight

It's only right
