Sarah Morris - Happier Holidays Lyrics

I don't turn on the radio
Or take a walk on the downtown streets
I can't stand the sight of those sparkling lights
Circling the evergreens
People are counting down
The nights till Santa comes around
Despite what they're singing
I know he's not bringing what my poor heart needs
Tis the season for laughter and joy and fireplaces all aglow
Once I was the life of the party
And you were beside me
Now I spend silent nights alone
I can't help but feel just like the weather
A little bit colder than I like
And gray
I've tried to forget but
I remember
How it used to be
When it was you and me
In happier holidays
I close my eyes as the first snow falls
Jingle bells ring and I recall
This time last year
You whispered in my ear
'Baby you're all I want'
Tis the season for giving
For pretty things wrapped up in ribbons and bows
But it's hard to merry
With these memories I carry
Like a stocking full of coal
I can't help but feel just like the weather
A little bit colder than I like
And gray
I've tried to forget but
I remember
How it used to be
When it was you and me
In happier holidays
Now I'm crying in the parking lot where we bought
Our last tree together
I swear most of the time
I do alright
But there's something about December
I can't help but feel just like the weather
A little bit colder than I like
And gray
I've tried to forget but
I remember
How it used to be
When it was you and me
In happier holidays
