Please accept sincere apologies Dear Christmas tree I cut you for a lovely girl I don't mean to hurt no feelings; you're a casualty Just like my heart held captive for this lovely girl It's true, if we've been drinking wine all night And we watch the snow fall down, and I can't hold out another night Then this Christmas, I'll be asking her to stay (hey, hey) Then this Christmas, I'll be asking her to stay Give a little kiss before she wakes Cause I'm gone all year and I don't think I ever could Leave her alone for yet another holiday I'd trade all my time only if she said I could It's true, if we've been drinking wine all night And we watch the snow fall down, and I can't hold out another night Then this Christmas, I'll be asking her to stay (hey, hey) Then this Christmas, I'll be asking her to stay If fate is resting on my side tonight If fate is resting on my side tonight Then I know I can't be wrong Get it out in the open I do, I do, I do If we've been drinking wine all night And we watch the snow fall down, and I can't hold out another night Then this Christmas, I'll be asking her to stay (hey, hey) Then this Christmas, I'll be asking her to stay
