Prince and the Revolution - Another Lonely Christmas lyrics
[Prince and the Revolution - Another Lonely Christmas lyrics]
Last night, I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, you should've been there
'Cause all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care for
Remember the time we swam naked
In your father's pool?
Boy, he was upset that night but boy
Was that ever cool
Remember the night we played pokeno for money
And you robbed me blind
Remember how you used to scream so loud
'Cause you hated the number nine
Hey, I saw your sister skating
On the lake this afternoon
Good Heaven, how she's grown
She swooned the boy skaters, she is so tall
But of all your father's children
All your father's children, baby
You know, you are the finest of them all
You are brighter than the northern star
Last night, I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, you should've been there
'Cause all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care for
My mama used to say
"Always trust your lover"
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
Last night, oh, I spent another lonely
Lonely Christmas
Darling, baby, you should've been there
'Cause all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care for
Yeah
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 'til I'm blind
As long as I can hear you smilin' baby
You won't hear my tears
Another lonely Christmas is mine
Yeah, mine, yeah
Another lonely Christmas is mine
Last night, yeah, I spent another lonely
Lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, you should've been there
'Cause all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care for
Yeah
Another lonely
Darling, darling, you should've been there
'Cause all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care for
Remember the time we swam naked
In your father's pool?
Boy, he was upset that night but boy
Was that ever cool
Remember the night we played pokeno for money
And you robbed me blind
Remember how you used to scream so loud
'Cause you hated the number nine
Hey, I saw your sister skating
On the lake this afternoon
Good Heaven, how she's grown
She swooned the boy skaters, she is so tall
But of all your father's children
All your father's children, baby
You know, you are the finest of them all
You are brighter than the northern star
Last night, I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, you should've been there
'Cause all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care for
