Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Last night, I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, you should have been there
'Cause of the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout, you see
You are the only one I cared for
[Verse 2]
Remember the time we swam naked
In your father's pool
Boy he was upset that night
But boy was that ever cool
[Verse 3]
Remember that night we played Pokeno for money
And you robbed me blind
Remember how you used to scream so loud
'Cause you, you hated the number nine
[Verse 4]
Hey, I saw your sister skating on the lake this afternoon
Good Heaven, how she's grown
She swooned the boy skaters, she's so tall
But of all your father's children
Oh your father's children, baby
You know you are the finest of them all
You are brighter than the Northern Star
And I
[Verse 5]
Last night, I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, you, you should've been there with me
Of all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout, you see
You are the only one I cared for
Listen
[Verse 6]
Do you still like banana daiquiris?
Boy we used to get so turnt
Ooh, you used to get so horny
You made me leave the lights on
I'd pay money just to see your laughing, dancing silhouette upon the pier
Sometimes I think I hear you smiling
Sometimes I think you're here
[Verse 7]
I find myself holding every pillow
In the bed you and I used to share
Last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, you should be, you should be there
'Cause you see
[Verse 8]
Last night, I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, you, yeah, you should've been there
'Cause you see, of all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout, you see
You are the only one I cared for, yeah
[Verse 9]
My momma used to say
Always trust your lover
But now I guess that only applies to her
'Cause, baby, you promised me
Baby, you promised me you'd never leave
Then you died on the 25th day of December
Oh, baby
[Verse 10]
Last night, oh, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, baby, you, you should've been there, oh oh
'Cause of the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout, you see
You are the only one I cared for, yeah
[Verse 11]
Your father said it was pneumonia
Your mother said it was stress
But the doctor said you were dead, and I
I say it's senseless
Every Christmas night for seven years now
I drink banana daiquiris till I'm blind
As long as I can hear you smiling, baby
You won't hear my tears
Another lonely Christmas is mine
Yeah, mine, yeah
Another lonely Christmas is mine
[Verse 12]
Last night, yeah, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, you should've been there, yeah
'Cause of the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout, you see
You are the only one I cared for
