[00:01.80]Luther Vandross - Every Year, Every Christmas
[00:09.60]
[00:13.40]I don't know how love could do this to me
[00:24.14]I've waited and waited for someone I never see
[00:34.46]But I'm so sentimental, and I'm so hopeful you'll be here
[00:43.18]So, here I am every year, every Christmas
[00:52.08]
[00:54.00]Yeah~
[00:56.80]I've wished for you in my heart and in my head
[01:06.71]And I got my answer that first moment that we met
[01:16.93]And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said
[01:25.95]You'd be here every year, every Christmas
[01:34.78]
[01:38.41]There must be a lesson for me to learn
[01:47.39]If you don't trust in love, you'll get nothing in return
[01:59.75]Why should I be lonely, don't tell me it's fine
[02:09.13]I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonight
[02:19.33]ah~
[02:21.49]So much emotion, it's driving me mad. yeah~
[02:32.13]But I'll take my chances with these feelings that I have
[02:42.68]And I'll come back to this same corner where we met
[02:51.31]And I'll be here every year, every Christmas
[03:00.20]
[03:03.77]Mere words can't explain the pain and the fear
[03:12.71]'Cause oh, I wonder, yes, I wonder are you gonna leave me standing here
[03:25.44]Today's almost over, but I don't want to leave
[03:34.01]Has my heart made a fool out of me
[03:44.20]ah~...
[03:46.79]My friends gather round me with holiday cheer. yeah~
[03:57.37]They say to forget you, to let you go 'cause you're not here
[04:07.78]Well, I can't keep explaining what they'll never understand
[04:16.60]And why I'm here every year, every Christmas
[04:25.52]
[04:27.40]I return every year, every Christmas
[04:38.09]I come here every year, every Christmas~
