She Won't Be Home

Erasure · Other Songs - Erasure

She looks around

There are snowflakes on the ground

Here comes another lonely Christmas

Stars in the night

There is one there shining bright

Shine bright for me this lonely Christmas



And I wanted to say to you

How much I want to be with you

I wanted to say to you

How much I need to be with you

Christmas time comes once a year

She knows this time he won't be near



She (hello) phones her mom

Says this time she cannot come

Don't worry I'm with friends this Christmas (Oooh la la la)

Dad gets upset

But in time he soon forgets

Here comes another lonely Christmas



And I wanted to say to you

How much I want to be with you

I wanted to say to you

How much I need to be with you

Christmas time comes once a year

She knows this time he won't be near



(Oooh la la la)

And I wanted to say to you (She won't be home)

How much I want to be with you (This christmas time)

I wanted to say to you (She won't be home)

How much I need to be with you (This christmas time)

I wanted to say to you (She won't be home)

How much I need to be with you (This christmas time)

I wanted to say to you (She won't be home)

How much I need to be with you (This christmas time)

I wanted to say to you (She won't be home)

How much I need to be with you (This christmas time)
