[Intro] Oh, ooh, oh, uh Ooh, oh yea-yeah, oh, ooh, ah [Verse 1] You'll be my New Year's Day, my Valentine Now I am not going to stop until I make you mine You'll be my April Fool, my Mardi Gras The music on my tongue when I sing fa la la You'll be my flower child, in the month of May My sunny summer lover on my holiday You'll be my autumn leaves, my Halloween The winter snow and everything that's in between This year I'm going to take you home This year I don't want to be alone [Chorus] This year, this Christmas together And the minutes they pass, and the hours they fly This year, this Christmas forever And the weeks and the months go rushing by This year we've learned how to live How to forget, and how to forgive without fear, oh Just love this Christmas, this year [Verse 2] Oh, you'll be my spring ahead, my fall behind The shimmy on my hips oh when I, bump and grind You'll be my Santa Boy, all dressed in red And ride that little reindeer all through my head Oh, ooh, here we go, oh yeah This year I'm going to take you home This year I don't want to be alone [Chorus] [Verse 3] This year I'll pray for you, uh And I thank God for you Just want to be with you This year that's all I want to do Day by day, I'm going to get my way This year I'll pray for you The seasons turn, I've got a lot to learn And I thank God for you Now this year I'm going to, going to, going to take you home Because I don't want to be alone [Chorus]
