Could Not Sleep (On Christmas Eve)

It used to be that we could not sleep The air was crisp, and the snow was deep It sure looked like it was all going to be alright Wrapped up in coloured string Sugar on everything We untangled all our Christmas lights Damn it all I’ll wait for another new year It will kill us yet We’re singing Hallelujah I’m not saying I won’t be along What would life be like if it were gone It used to be we couldn’t help but smile Meet a face you haven’t seen in a while Love out of our hearts across the street Greet the ghosts of time gone past Hope this year won’t be the last Here’s to us, who’s like us anyway Damn it all I’ll wait for another new year It will kill us yet We’re singing Hallelujah I’m not saying I won’t be along What would life be like if it were gone Damn it all I’ll wait for another new year It will kill us yet We’re singing Hallelujah I’m not saying I won’t be along What would life be like if it were gone
