Tinsel and Tears

Went to the nursery picked out a tree
Flanneled boy tied it to the roof for me
he said Baby you and I were like this evergreen"
Got the kinda love to last through centuries
So how could a season so sparkly and new
Shine like diamonds then turn shades of blue
Numbing a heart that once beated for you
Cruel Christmas without you here
The twinkling & pageantry's all disappeared
Cruel Christmas maybe next year
I won't be left with tinsel and tears
Drove through Queens thought I saw your face
On every street corner, in every snowflake
And if I could rewrite history maybe you would stay
Now I'm haunted by every mistake
Cruel Christmas without you here
The twinkling & pageantry's all disappeared
Cruel Christmas maybe next year
I won't be left with tinsel and tears
Wore a gold dress, took me to the Winter ball
Champagne toasts to us
Now empty words echo in the dance hall
Guess we'll never know what it was
Cruel Christmas without you here
The twinkling & pageantry's all disappeared
Cruel Christmas maybe next year
I won't be left with tinsel and tears
