drummondo Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 So there I was, sitting around on Christmas Eve, four hours to go before it ticked over to the 25th, and I decided to write me a Christmas song. I got a few chords together, wrote a couple of verses, and tried to get a Counting Crows style throughout. The verse in italics is the chorus, and is repeated after verses two and three as well. I Don't Want This Christmas Stranded at the station, all you want's another chance to see Your family for Christmas day, But they're alone at home, and all they've got to keep them company Is news of how you've gone away. I don't want this Christmas, if I can't spend it with you, Let the snowmen melt away, watch the smiling faces as they fade, And all the children run and play, and how they laugh the whole way through, I don't want this Christmas, if I can't spend it with you. A girl stands at the bus stop waiting for a guy, they're only friends, But she wanted so much more, But the guy, he doesn't show, he doesn't care, he stands her up again, What's she even waiting for? And looking over poems and lyrics that I've written this past year, I find the one that hurt me most, I realise that all I want is for that person to be here, So I can smile and hold her close.

Zadown Posted December 25, 2004 Report Posted December 25, 2004 Mmm ya, I could see Counting Crows playing that song.
