WHEN THE STORM OUTSIDE BLOWS,
BUT THE CHRISTMAS TREE GLOWS…
THAT’S WHEN SHE KNOWS
SHE’LL SEE HER AGAIN.
ONCE THE FIRE BURNS OUT,
IF SHE TIPTOES ABOUT…
THEN THERE’S NO DOUBT
SHE’LL SEE HER AGAIN
AND SAY-
“CAROLINE,
IT’S CHRISTMASTIME.
STAY THE NIGHT WITH ME.
CAROLINE,
I’M DOING FINE,
BUT STAY THE NIGHT WITH ME…
LIKE IT USED TO BE.”
AND THE DOGS OUTSIDE BARK
SOMETHING STIRS IN THE DARK…
THEN THERE’S THAT SPARK
WHEN SHE HOLDS HER AGAIN.
“CAROLINE,
IT’S CHRISTMASTIME.
STAY THE NIGHT WITH ME.
CAROLINE,
I’M DOING FINE,
BUT STAY THE NIGHT WITH ME…
LIKE IT USED TO BE.”
“DON’T LET GO.
I DON’T WANNA KNOW CHRISTMAS ALONE.
HOLD ME TIGHT
THROUGH THE NIGHT AND THROUGH ALL THE UNKNOWN.
DON’T LET GO!
I DON’T WANNA KNOW CHRISTMAS ALONE!
ALONE…
OOO”
WHEN THE MORNING DRAWS NEAR,
SHE KNOWS SHE’LL DISAPPEAR…
STILL ONCE A YEAR
S HE’LL SEE HER AGAIN.
“CAROLINE,
EACH CHRISTMASTIME
STAY THE NIGHT WITH ME.
CAROLINE,
I’M DOING FINE,
BUT STAY THE NIGHT WITH ME…
LIKE IT USED TO BE.”
