Cold December Nights
Boyz II Men · Christmas Interpretations
So cold, so cold, so cold...
Cold december nights like this make me really scared
You're not really there
And my tree is really bare
Another lonely night
No gifts, no toys underneath my tree
Can this really be
I'm singing Christmas Carols
And there's no Christmas for me
Chorus:
Why aren't you next to me
Celebrating Christmas
Why can't you see what hurts so bad
How can you go without paying mind to my sorrow
You can't imagine
How I feel on this cold December night
The stars shine bright as the night air
And the thought of you not being here
Makes me shed a tear
And yet matters remain unclear
About why you're gone
Or if you'll ever return to this broken heart
Life is so torn apart
And God knows, Lord knows where I need to start re-building
Chorus (repeats a lot and fades out)
