when you spend it all alone
I'm getting old, my parents,
they don't want me to come home
They want me to find
a family to call mine
But all I see is you and all the pictures
on my phone
My aunt
Annie told me love was
never worth the time
She split up her family
back in 1999
She's down on her luck,
but I think it's in the
That give and take will make mistakes
and sometimes compromise
I can smell the pines down 42nd
Avenue
I look for your face in every
Christmas storefront view
All the bells and all the trees
All the spaces in between
This year I'll just pretend
Maybe one day you will
spend a holiday with me
I called you up to tell you I was
coming back to town
New
York's pretty cool,
just a face lost in the crowd
No one really sees the per
son that's beneath
You could always pick me up ,
you never let me down
I can smell the pines down 42nd
Avenue
I look for your face in every
Christmas storefront view
All the bells and all the trees
All the spaces in between
This year I'll just pretend
Maybe one day you will spend
A holiday with me
This year I'll just pretend
Maybe one day you will spend
A holiday with me
This year I'll just pretend
That maybe one day you
will spend
And now your holiday is with me
