The Pianoman at Christmas

Sitting down there at the old folks' home

Quoting White Christmas

I got three hundred songs about Santa Claus

Under my fingers

Then down to the Crown Hotel

Played till our hands hurt like hell

I'm asking myself, "Who am I supposed to be?"

But there's always somewhere to go

You're never gonna be lonely under the mistletoe

I thought I could be your man

But I'm just the piano man at Christmas

There's always a new place to go to

Just no one to go with

When I strike up with old Nat King Cole

I'm the hero till morning

While they rock around the tree

I can't shake, I feel so empty

I'm asking myself, said, "Who am I supposed to be?"

But there's always somewhere to go

You're never gonna be lonely under the mistletoe

I thought I could be your man

But I'm just the piano man

Well, I've always been the loner

With some songs in my back pocket

And a million ballroom uprights couldn't bring me any solace

Would someone come and tell me, who am I supposed to be?

I'm just trying to find my way through

Don't care about a savior

Just wanna hold onto you

Thought I could be your man

I'm just the piano man

Yeah, there's always somewhere to go

You're never gonna be lonely under the mistletoe

I thought I could be your man

But I'm always the piano man at Christmas
