Nick Barstow – Christmas Next Year lyrics

I'll meet you
Sometime over Christmas
Maybe
Tell you how I've missed us
Christmas
Gives the perfect reason
Something in the season
Feels so natural

Maybe
Nothing really changes -
We'll stay
Friends, but somehow strangers
Free, yet,
Once a year, colliding –
Never quite deciding
Each year

I plan to
Catch your eye across the room
Knowing
That's your hint of perfume
Then, somehow,
When I reach you
I'll recite the lines
And make the signs
I've practised to perfection

I'll meet you
Sometime over Christmas...
Sometime over Christmas...
If I persevere...
Maybe Christmastime next year...

I'd see you
More into the new year
Different -
If it all comes true, we're
Stronger -
Someone to rely on
Someone asking why
On each decision made

Someone
New to share each day with
No one
Else I'd rather stay with -
Growing
Changing, as the year does
Allowing fate to steer us
Knowing...

Before long
We feel nights drawing in
Stirring
All our memories within
Suddenly
It's Christmas
And we've spent a year
Arriving here
Where everything is different

I'd see you
Much more after Christmas
Every day from Christmas,
Then we'll share the cheer
When Christmas comes around year

Planning all the
The words I want to say
Speak the lines a thousand times before
And if I find a way
To keep my nervousness at bay
I'm sure it won't be long until there's more...

I'll meet you
Sometime over Christmas
Sometime over Christmas
If things seem more clear
When Christmas comes around next year

Maybe Christmastime one year...
