[Verse 1]
Can you hear the waves?
This is where I gave my promise
To always be here at your side
So would you be better off
Without me? Now that is
Something only you can decide
[Verse 2]
I don't want to pull on your heartstrings
But I've given you everything
Every single thing that you asked me for
I've always tried to show concern
Without asking for anything in return
And that's because I learned to love you more and more
[Verse 3]
And so I'm asking then
If you could think again
Before you disappear into thin air
Bеcause I can't believе that this
Just might be
The final Christmas that we share
[Chorus]
And the weather's appalling
How can you think of leaving now?
And look: the snow's just started falling
This is what Christmas is about
[Verse 4]
And I know you'd like to spend this time
With your wonderful new friend
But could we maybe just pretend that you are staying here
For another day, oh does it have to end this way?
Let's not make Christmas Day
The loneliest time of year
[Chorus]
And the weather's appalling
How can you think of leaving now
And look: the snow's just started falling
This is what Christmas is about
[Refrain]
Ah-a-a-ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
Ah-a-a-ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
Ah-a-a-ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
Ah-a-a-ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
[Chorus]
The weather's appalling
How can you think of leaving now?
Snow's just started falling
This is what Christmas is about
[Chorus + Refrain]
The weather's appalling (Ah-a-a-ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah)
How can you think of leaving now? (Ah-a-a-ah ah ah ah, ah ah)
Snow's just started falling (Ah-a-a-ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah)
This is what Christmas is about. (Ah-a-a-ah ah ah ah, ah ah)
[Refrain]
Ah-a-a-ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
Ah-a-a-ah ah ah ah, ah ah
Ah-a-a-ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah
Ah-a-a-ah ah ah ah, ah ah
