Every Year, Every Christmas 作词 : Luther Vandross/Richard Marx 作曲 : Luther Vandross/Richard Marx I don't know how love could do this to me I've waited and waited for someone I never see But I'm so sentimental and I'm so hopeful you'll be here So here I am every year, every Christmas Yeah I've wished for you in my heart and in my head And I got my answer that first moment that we met And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said You'd be here every year, every Christmas There must be a lesson for me to learn If you don't trust in love, you'll get nothing in return Why should I be lonely? Don't tell me it's fine I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonight So much emotion, it's driving me mad, yeah, yeah But I'll take my chances with these feelings that I have And I'll come back to this same corner where we met And I'll be here every year, every Christmas Mere words can't explain the pain and the fear 'Cause, oh, I wonder, yes I wonder, are you gonna leave me standing here? Today's almost over, but I don't wanna leave Has my heart made a fool out of me? My friends gather 'round me with holiday cheer, yeah They say to forget you, to let you go 'cause you're not here Well, I can't keep explaining what they'll never understand And why I'm here every year, every Christmas I return every year, every Christmas I come here every year, every Christmas
