December 24

It's cold, dark and empty Not much in the sky I'm just hanging up the phone I just said goodbye Drive to the party Just to pretend I'll stay with a face that shows There's nothing to mend Sometimes takes whiskey Sometimes takes more Always on December 24 A smile's worth of fiction The good actor plays Raising a glass for me To this masquerade Oh yes, the kids are fine Spoke with them today I won't see them tomorrow For this holiday Sometimes takes whiskey Sometimes takes more Always on December 24 Sometimes takes whiskey Sometimes takes more Always on December 24 So here's to the season A memory at best Those times to remember I pretend to forget Sometimes takes whiskey Sometimes takes more Always on December 24 Sometimes takes whiskey Sometimes takes more Always on December 24
