Red And Green

[Verse 1]
Don't ask me about Christmas
Or where I’m gonna be
No, I haven't done my shopping
No, I haven't got a tree

[Chorus 1]
Oh, all this red and green
It doesn’t quite mean the same anymore
As it did once before
What if fairy tales just make us sad now?
Is a mark on the day
Really the best way to look and to know we are glad now?
So don't ask me about Christmas
I'm not gonna tell you

[Verse 2]
It seems I'm not alone here
I've seen many rolling eyes
It's cold and it's so dark now
It feels good to share our sighs

[Chorus 2]
Oh, all this red and green
It just doesn't quite mean the same anymore
As it did once before
What if fairy tales just make us sad now?
I promise I’ll try
But I’ll probably cry
All the good Christmases have been had now
So don't ask me about Christmas
I’m not gonna tell you

[Bridge]
But I do
And you too feel different
And maybe it wouldn't be so bad
To sit by the fire and be mad together

[Verse 3]
Don't ask me about Christmas
I know you never do
'Cause I will find my spirit
In waking up with you

[Chorus 3]
Oh, ’cause all this red and green
It doesn't quite mean the same anymore
As it did once before
Like all things tend to do over time
But there's a beauty in sharing
In knowing and caring
And maybe that's all it is
